In collegiate and professional baseball, winning is everything. And it all starts with effective scouting and player assessment.

SportsBoard Baseball Scout ("Scout"), a new, patent-pending iPad-based scouting/assessment tool, revolutionizes how baseball coaches scout opponents and assess individual athletes.

Scout was designed by baseball coaches for baseball coaches, and combines the power of the iPad with sophisticated baseball-specific functionality to replace the clipboard, and facilitate electronic data collection from assessment events, tournament events, or games involving
opponents.

Eliminate the clipboard and use Scout instead to take notes, record voicememos, capture assessment data and take photos! Once you start using Scout, you will never go back.
