October 15, 2025 10:00 ET | Source: Rapsodo ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Rapsodo, the leader in sports data and performance technology, announced its official partnership with USA Softball, the national governing body of softball in the United States, all to further women's sports. This collaboration will bring Rapsodo's PRO 2.0 Softball devices to USA Softball's national team and training facilities, providing access to pro-level data designed to enhance player development across all levels of the sport. "With the PRO 2.0 Softball, we're empowering players to reach new heights in their game," said Charnsin Tulyasathien, Head of Product Management, North America at Rapsodo. "Our partnership with USA Softball allows us to provide softball-specific data, helping us advance the underserved sport. Our main goal is to enhance player development and increase their chances of earning collegiate scholarships." Unlike other tools on the market that retrofit baseball technology for softball, the PRO 2.0 Softball was designed by softball players for softball players. The app features more than 20 hitting and pitching metrics, pitch tagging for up to 10 softball pitch types, video playback, field views and imagery calibrated for softball dimensions. "The PRO 2.0 Softball's ability to capture real-time data, specifically for softball, provides our athletes and coaches with a smart training plan backed by the latest data," said Craig Cress, CEO of USA Softball. "With the growth of women's sports, we partnered with Rapsodo because it offers the only portable device designed exclusively for softball. This gives our players real feedback to monitor progress and prevent injuries, giving us a leg up on the competition." The PRO 2.0 Softball is the accessible ball flight technology solution where players can access professional-grade data from off-season training to game time, even on the road. The device is the most cost-effective solution for advanced metrics, which gets pro-level insights in the hands of coaches at all levels and athletes of all ages and skill levels. Recently announced, Rapsodo's new Scripted Sessions are fully integrated with the PRO 2.0 and the Rapsodo Softball app. This new feature enables coaches to design customized training plans tailored to individual players, ensuring every repetition contributes toward overall performance improvement. As part of this partnership, USA Softball has preset templates exclusively in the Rapsodo Softball app that all PRO 2.0 users can take advantage of. That means athletes using the PRO 2.0 can follow the same training curriculum designed by USA Softball coaches that the best athletes in the world are using to level up their game. The app is also introducing a new "live-on-live" mode, launching soon, that simultaneously captures and analyzes hitting and pitching data in real-time, providing insights into how a hitter performs against specific pitches. This feature eliminates the need to manually compare separate hitting and pitching data, offering a comprehensive view of both players' performance in a single session.
