The PitchCom™ – The PitchCom™ communication system uses a nine-button, player-wearable transmitter that allows players on the field to communicate plays to each other without using physical signs. Every player wearing a receiver in their baseball caps actually hears the same instructions in their very own chosen language. MLB teams started using PitchCom in 2022. One player — typically the catcher, but sometimes the pitcher — has the transmitter that transmits the call for both the pitch and location, and everyone connected, now up to 5 other fielders, has a receiver that hears the call.
