The NFHS is partnering with a company called Game Day Signals, which is an affordable option for baseball and softball coaches to call pitches.

The term “Pitchcom” is used to describe all technology used to call pitches. However, it is the brand name of a popular device company used by professional and collegiate teams. Pitchcom is not fully available in retail for high schools.

You can learn more about the Game Day Signals products on their website. Their store includes a coach’s play call remote, receivers for catchers, fielders, and the pitcher, several accessories, and a team travel and charging case. They also offer playing calling devices for batters and runners.

From the NFHS:

The NFHS is proud to announce a new three-year corporate partnership with Game Day Signals as the Official and Exclusive Baseball and Softball Coach-to-Catcher Electronic Communication Device Partner of the NFHS.

This partnership marks a significant milestone in enhancing communication, reducing sign-stealing, and streamlining game flow for high school baseball and softball programs across the country. Game Day Signals’ cutting-edge wearable technology allows coaches to send pitch calls and strategy instructions directly to catchers using an encrypted, wireless communication system—replacing traditional hand signals with a faster, more secure method.

“We are excited to partner with Game Day Signals, a recognized leader in the electronic communication system industry, to enhance the communication tools available to our high school baseball and softball programs across the country and further our commitment to equipping coaches and teams with the latest game-enhancing equipment,” said Chief Executive Officer Karissa Niehoff. “This partnership represents an important step forward in empowering teams with innovative solutions that streamline in-game communication.”

“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to equipping coaches and teams with cutting-edge tools to enhance in-game communication,” said Erica Beers, President & CEO of GameDay Signals. “We have always viewed the NFHS as an ideal partner, and we couldn’t be more excited to join forces with them. This partnership reinforces our mutual dedication to innovation and the continued evolution of coaching strategies.”

Game Day Signals’ easy-to-use system has already been embraced by teams nationwide for its simplicity, reliability and ability to reduce confusion on the field. The NFHS partnership will help bring this innovation to more high school teams while reinforcing best practices for communication and sportsmanship.
