⚾ Family Hub. Be the parent who knows what's going on.
You know the feeling. Saturday night, the schedule changed in three group chats. Your ballplayer had a tough day at the plate and you don't know what to tell his hitting coach. The team across the field has names you don't recognize.
"What time do we play tomorrow?"
"What seed do we need?"
"How did my ballplayer do this weekend?"
"What should he work on next?"
Family Hub answers all of it. Travel baseball turns into a season you finally have on your side.
Four jobs. One Family Hub.

⚾ Development Report · Family Hub
Jake · 13U · Spring 2026
Where he is today.
Jake's having a strong season. .412 AVG, 1.079 OPS across 22 games in Majors competition. The numbers are real — this is against top-tier pitching. His plate discipline is the standout: 18% chase rate and 89% zone contact. He's not chasing, and when he swings, he's making contact. That's the foundation everything else builds on.
One thing to work on. His spray chart shows 62% pull. That's above the threshold where it becomes a mechanical pattern. The front shoulder may be opening early, which limits his ability to drive the ball the other way. The inside-out drill — 15 minutes before each practice session — builds the opposite-field bat path.
Tap to share with coach: "Can we work on the inside-out drill in Tuesday's lesson?"

Look up any kid on the field.
Your ballplayer's friends. His teammates. The kid he's facing this weekend. Family Hub gives you a friendly read on every player — kids and competitors both.
⚾ Player Profile · Family Hub
Jake Thornton · 13U · SS/2B · Class of 2031
What stands out.
Elite plate discipline — only 5 strikeouts in 42 at-bats. He's putting the bat on the ball consistently and not giving away at-bats.
Gap-to-gap power — 8 extra-base hits in 17 total hits. That's advanced power for 13U.
Smart baserunner — 11 stolen bases with only 2 caught stealing. He's reading pitchers and picking his spots.
Consistent — .412 across 22 games in Majors competition. This isn't a hot streak — it's a season-long identity.

🔍 Super Scout. Walk into every Sunday already knowing.
You're not coaching against another rec team. You're coaching against the deepest pitching staff in the bracket, a scouting service the parents paid for, and a head coach who watched film all week. Super Scout puts you on the same level — with the same data MLB analytics teams use, applied to your weekend.
"Who's their guest player and how do we attack him?"
"How do I position my outfielders against #4?"
"Who pitches Saturday so I have arms for Sunday?"
"How do we beat their ace?"
Real answers. Real data. Built for coaches who'd rather know.
The team report, before first pitch.
Every opponent on the schedule gets a full report. The bottom line, the probable lineup with exploit notes, the pitching staff with availability. Read it on the drive to the field.
Contact-heavy, speed-first. Beatable when you control the running game.

"They beat you with singles, walks, and stolen bases — not power (3 team HR in 24 games). Win condition: get ahead in counts, control the running game, force them to hit for power they don't have."
— Burks · 24 G, last 60 days
When he's at the plate. 20 seconds, one card.
Pull up the dugout card the moment he digs in. Where to pitch him, where to play him, what to watch for. The book — at-bat ready.
"Hitting .412 with 6 doubles in 42 AB — all gap power, no HR. Get ahead early. He doesn't chase when he's behind in the count."
— Burks · 42 AB, 22 G, 87 pitches tracked
When he's on the mound. Same player. Different report.
Every player has two scouting reports — one for when he's hitting, one for when he's pitching. The same Jake Thornton who's a contact-hitting nightmare? He's also a predictable Sunday starter once you know the count tells.

Every player evaluation runs through a 12-trigger diagnostic system that cross-references metric combinations to identify specific issues — and prescribe targeted fixes. The same kind of framework MLB analytics teams use. A few of them:

The data is already at the field. We build the intelligence.
Built for the field
Three people we built this for.
⚾
The ballplayer.
Deserves to know what to work on. What's getting better. What scouts will see when they look at the data.
Travel ball is real ball. The kids putting in the work deserve real intelligence about their development — not vibes from the parking lot.
👨👩👦
The family.
Deserves to know what time we play, what the bracket looks like, and what to bring to the next hitting lesson.
Five hours in the car, a hotel night, three weekends a month. Families are investing real money and real time. They deserve the answers without piecing it together from group chats.
🎯
The coach.
Deserves to walk into every Sunday already knowing — opponent, lineup, attack plan, win condition.
Volunteer coaches and travel ball pros alike are out-coached every weekend by teams with deeper pitching, paid scouting services, and head coaches with film time. Burks AI levels the field.
Why this didn't exist before
The data was there. The intelligence wasn't.
Travel baseball already runs on data. Every tracked tournament captures pitch sequences, box scores, defensive positioning, game outcomes — hundreds of thousands of data points, every weekend, across every region.
Until now, nobody had built the intelligence layer to make sense of any of it. The same AWS-powered analytics revolutions that turned NFL Next Gen Stats, F1 race insights, and Prime Video Sports into household names hadn't reached the level where most kids actually play. That's the gap. We're building the layer.
The platform
Travel baseball is the start. Not the finish.
Every amateur sport has the same gap — rich data, no intelligence layer. The Burks AI platform is designed to expand into other sports as data infrastructure matures across them.
