BaseballWatch — Pro Baseball Live and Stats
· v1.8.1
About
BaseballWatch puts live pro baseball on your wrist. Follow your whole team — or up to 20 favorite players — in real time. The screen tracks the current batter and pitcher, the scoreboard, the base runners and the count, and switches automatically the moment your player steps to the plate or takes the mound.
##Key Features
- Two ways to follow — Team Mode (your whole team, auto-following the live game) or Player Mode (up to 20 favorite players, batters and pitchers)
- Live game screen — scoreboard, base runners, balls/strikes/outs, with each player's in-game and season stats
- Inning history — the full play-by-play, updating live while you watch
- Ball-tracking data — pitch speed and type, exit velocity, and home-run distance
- Event animations — hits, home runs, strikeouts, stolen bases, and a victory celebration
- Standings & stats — division standings, season stats, and a per-player detail screen (today's at-bats / pitching line)
- Smart notifications + auto-screen switching — instant alerts, and the screen jumps to whoever just made the play
- Choose your units — mph/ft or km/h/m

In Player Mode, set a player to "Lock-in" and the screen pins to that player the moment they come into play, stopping auto-switching and notifications from other watched players. Even when several players are active at once, the screen won't be pulled away from the one you want to watch. Lock-in players are shown in pink (watched = green). Set it via a long-press on the upper part of the main screen, or from the Member List.

■ Improved Browse mode usability, plus other minor adjustments.
