Here at the Wenatchee AppleSox, we are unabashed supporters of the use of technology for player development. It is for that reason that we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with WIN Reality. This technology is a great asset to anyone who’s looking to improve the technicality of their baseball or softball skills.

“Our goal is to constantly find new ways to improve the product on the field,” AppleSox owner Jose Oglesby said. “Whether that is through our personnel or through technology, we like to leave no stone unturned.”

WIN Reality specializes in virtual reality training for baseball and softball players. Co-founded by long-time MLB Executive Dan O’Dowd and his son Chris, WIN Reality allows players to see unlimited game-speed pitches any time.

Using game footage and true data, youth, high school, collegiate and professional pitchers are uploaded into WIN Reality’s VR environment for players to face. With seven different training modes and their beta hitting integration being rolled out, this application provides the complete toolset the ideal training application should contain.

Their application provides real-time feedback and custom development plans to players based on performance, truly allowing the program to be suitable for players of all levels. Available on the Oculus Quest & Quest 2, there is no longer any reason players can’t see game-speed pitches each and every day!

“WIN Reality gives the AppleSox a chance to have an edge over our opponents,” Oglesby said. “We wanted to make sure that our fans have the opportunity to train how the AppleSox train.”

WIN Reality and the AppleSox are teaming up to assure the application gets in the hands of all players. Head to WIN Reality and use code APPLESOX to receive a trial through February! Additionally, you’ll be provided with WIN Reality’s beta hitting add-on at no additional cost to the membership for six months! We are also looking into ways to make headsets available and affordable. Please email info@applesox.com if you are interested in headsets.
