Nextstride.ai

Baseball suffers from three interconnected problems: (1) Manual scorekeeping and data collection is time-consuming and error-prone, limiting the quality and depth of performance analytics; (2) Player evaluation remains largely subjective, with expensive tryout platforms creating barriers for organizations; and (3) Translating raw data into actionable coaching remains the domain of expensive specialists. NextStride.ai addresses these challenges by automating data collection through AI video analysis, providing free evaluation tools to organizations, and delivering AI-generated coaching insights that turn complex data into practical recommendations. Our addressable market includes 4.5 million youth players, 100,000+ youth teams, 50,000+ high schools and colleges, and professional organizations collectively spending over $3 billion annually on registration, evaluation, performance enhancement, and player development.
