Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Mergers And Acquisitions.

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Jan. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pocket Radar Inc., the technology powerhouse behind the top-selling velocity tracking equipment, announces today a letter of intent reached to acquire The Scout Hub, a Texas based multi-sport technology company that creates solution-based software products and programs helping organizations, teams and athletes develop, showcase and advance their game. 

Through this acquisition, Pocket Radar inherits top coaching solutions and evaluation capabilities. Pocket Radar’s Sports app has always been a great resource for coaches to capture video and velocity metrics for training and reviewing with players, among other features. The Scout Hub’s technology brings future development tools to the app focusing on coaching programs and helping develop athletes and teams. 

Pocket Radar’s acquisition will also include The Scout Hub’s one-of-a-kind Baseball Scouting app and it’s IP that marries objective and subjective metrics when evaluating an athlete. The platform has created an overall role and rating grade like no other app or evaluation software. Coaches can customize their own Scout Cards that provide a unique, individualized scouting experience helping coaches evaluate the best recruits and develop athletes based on their own knowledge of the game and needs for their program. The Scout Hub IP together with the Pocket Radar technology brings together analytics like nothing else on the marketplace. 

In addition to the coaching and development software, Pocket Radar will also add tremendous brain power and innovative resources to advance current Scout Hub products like the “Athlete Resume” that helps athletes showcase different aspects of their game for recruiting, marketing and promotion. It’s an all-in-one place for hosting all important analytics, videos, and more to help with scouting and recruiting. 

“Since day one I’ve always enjoyed working with Pocket Radar and held their platform and Company at the highest standard. It’s been like a family in all my communications with them and it felt like a no-brainer to bring together The Scout Hub platform with the Pocket Radar technology and leadership,” said Todd Blyleven, CEO of The Scout Hub. “Their brain power and culture is going to uplift what I’ve put into the Scout Hub over the last year and a half and really help athletes develop and organizations succeed. I’m really excited for what’s to come.” 

“We are very excited to bring The Scout Hub’s platform into our ecosystem of technologies,” said Steve Goody, CEO/co-Founder of Pocket Radar Inc. “This is a big step forward for Pocket Radar as we begin to provide full solutions to our customers to help them achieve their greatest successes. By aligning with companies that are focused on enhancing the experiences of our customers through innovative development tools, this is just the beginning in the evolution of the brand.”

Pocket Radar technology is used by all MLB teams at some level, all the way to the youth level for training, injury prevention, and more. It’s trusted by top softball, volleyball, tennis and other coaches and athletes. Pocket Radar has always served as a baseline measurement tool and encouraged athletes to own their numbers. This acquisition and the Scout Hub platform will elevate athletes from just owning their numbers into having an overall standardized evaluation tool for recruiters, scouts, coaches and more across all sports.
