Opponent scouting for youth and travel baseball. We turn game data and a crew of live eyes into one clean sheet your coach holds before first pitch: who can beat you, who runs, and where to play your defense.
EDGE is opponent scouting for youth and travel baseball. Before game day, we hand your coach one clean sheet: the other team's dangerous hitters, who runs, how their pitchers work, and where to play your defense.
It started with a few parents talking about Greg Maddux, who got Hall of Famers out because he always knew something they didn't, always one step ahead of opposing hitters.
So we built EDGE. At first it was just the grown-ups: a few parents and grandparents in lawn chairs, comparing notes. But some of the sharpest reads started coming from what I'd have figured was an unlikely source: the eyes on the bench. It grew from a couple of grown-ups, to the kids, to everyone: moms, dads, grandparents, a sibling with a good eye. Players hop on their e-bikes and ride over to scout the other team themselves, because why not? Every set of eyes chips away at the mystery of the "big scary" kid on the other side, before the first pitch is ever thrown.
But here's the real magic: it doesn't matter how the read shows up. Two words from a kid behind the backstop, a photo of a scribbled notebook, a text from another parent, a stat page, a gut feeling. It all goes in the same place, and comes back out as one clean sheet the coach can actually hold. EDGE doesn't care what form it arrives in. It just turns it into an edge.
It's small, focused, and genuinely fun. A side project, not a tech company. Some parents, some grandparents, some kids, and a little baseball, or softball. We're not trying to sell you the world. Just an edge.
"I just don't feel I'm prepared unless I'm doing what I can to be a little bit smarter, a little bit better, a little bit more prepared. I have been brought up in the game to do every little extra thing, get every bit of extra knowledge that can help you get a base hit in a key situation."

Live human eyes on the dugout plus the raw game data: pitch counts, tendencies, who runs.
We distill it into a real scouting report: breakdowns, threat levels, positioning. The signal, not the noise.
A printed report in the dugout, plus cut-out wristband cards your players wear to the plate.
Paper in the coach's hands before the first pitch. Nothing to log in to, nothing to charge.
Lineup, tendencies, and the team's shape at a glance.
Color-coded threat levels: problem, watch, routine.
Where each hitter sprays it, so your fielders stand in the right spot.
Cut out, slide into a wristband, wear it to the plate. The read goes onto the field with the kid.
Pay by Venmo, by the weekend. Nothing to subscribe to, nothing to log into. You point at a team, we hand you the read.
Pick the team you're worried about. We scout them and hand you a clean sheet before you leave for the field. The taste.
Every team you face in pool play, up to three, scouted and ready before first pitch. The one most coaches want.
Your whole pool, plus the Sunday bracket scouted overnight on whoever you draw, however deep you go. The bracket teams don't exist until Saturday night. We do.
The bracket sets at 9pm after a full day in the sun. We're up scouting overnight so you can sleep before Sunday. Plus a field full of eyes that no box score will ever have.
We take two or three teams per tournament weekend. Every report is hand-built and checked. Once a weekend fills, it's closed. Reserve early.
Running a whole season, or a whole league? We do team and org rates too. Just ask.
Pre-launch, small on purpose. Drop a line and we'll let you know when there's a sheet with your team's name on it.
