Pitch Atlas.

A grip you can inspect.

Pitching knowledge lives in fingers, seams, conversations, and habits. Pitch Atlas gives that knowledge a place to be inspected, compared, and carried forward, with its source still attached.

The starting point is physical: a real hand holding a real baseball. The grip library includes Austin's own photographs and demonstrations, with top, side, and underside views that reveal where the fingers and thumb sit.

Each specimen connects that hold to a pitch family, a movement explanation, and the person describing it. The interface gives visitors a way to look closely before moving into a larger story. Austin's own account remains a firsthand account; it does not become measured tracking data.

• Original grip photography and video
• Inspectable pitch specimens
• Pitch families and variants

The source stays with the claim.

Official data, analysis, a pitcher's recollection, and a coach's observation carry different kinds of authority. Pitch Atlas makes those distinctions visible in the interface, alongside the statement they support.

Visitors can open a specimen's source view and follow the reference. Unverified details remain identified as such. The seam visualization is described as a schematic, and a grip photograph is never presented as proof of velocity, spin, command, or final movement.

An archive with room to disagree.

A useful archive has room for more than one credible hold. Pitch Atlas connects its grip collection to pitcher profiles, historical records, lost pitches, and a separate softball wing. Different hands and different eras can remain distinct.

My work spans the product, the original demonstrations, the research structure, and the public experience. The result is a reference people can explore at their own pace, with the evidence available when they want to go deeper.
