Pison®, the trailblazer in AI-powered neural sensors for mental health, wellness, and performance today announced the launch of Pison BASEBALL Pro, the world’s first mental performance training solution designed to empower baseball players at all levels to develop an elite mental game.

Pison has launched a pre-order campaign offering early access to BASEBALL Pro. Pre-orders are now open for players and parents eager to enhance performance in preparation for 2025 spring training, showcases, and tournament season.

Yogi Berra famously once said, “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.” It may feel like a game of inches, but it’s better measured in milliseconds. Milliseconds determine whether players can turn on a fastball, lay off a curveball in the dirt, get a great jump on a steal, or react to a ball off the bat. Before now, there was no way to measure and train that part of the game.

Pison’s BASEBALL Pro provides coaches, program directors and players an unprecedented tool to measure and improve the cognitive skills needed to perform at high levels. At the heart of BASEBALL Pro is Pison’s Neural Sensor, a first-of-a-kind, wrist-worn wearable device that senses electrical signals starting in your mind and running through your body’s nervous system to your muscles.

Equipped with a Mental Performance Tracker, a one-of-a-kind, wearable device that acts like a mental chronometer measuring key cognitive performance metrics such as your reaction time and decision speed with millisecond precision. These cognitive performance measurements enable players at all levels, from high school to the pros, to stand out from others by developing faster and sharper mental performance that puts them “in the zone” on the diamond.

“Pison is looking to standardize tools that prepare baseball players and project on-field performance based on cognitive abilities,” said Marc Deschenes, VP sports operations at Pison. “Measuring reaction and mental processing speed down to the millisecond offers unique insights into players’ capacity to compete at various levels of the sport. Our pilot programs last spring with D1 Power Five, D3, and Junior College baseball teams demonstrated a strong correlation between measured cognitive scores and on-field performance.”

Key measurements and features of Pison BASEBALL Pro:

Cognitive Performance: Helps players sharpen their reaction time, decision-making skills, and ability to focus when it matters most.
On-field Skills: BASEBALL Pro helps players boost all areas of on-field performance, including hitting, fielding, base running, and pitching. Brings stronger mental performance to the field by measuring performance on ten on-field skills, such as how quickly players react to a ball, steal a base, or track down a fly ball.
Habit and Lifestyle Development: Pison BASEBALL Pro provides athletes with comprehensive mind and body data, including measurements of sleep quality, sleep debt, stress/anxiety, strain, and recovery. With this information, players can develop habits and lifestyles to get the best results from their talent, perform at their best when it matters, and consistently stand out on the field.
Data-driven Player Development: BASEBALL Pro offers dashboards that allow players and coaches to monitor each player’s current performance levels and improvement over time and compare their performance to peers and teammates.
Predictive Analytics: Players and coaches can see how a player’s current performance level projects to players at the high school, college, and professional levels so they can monitor their development and trajectory.
Data Sharing: Players can share data with coaches, scouts, and college recruiters, helping evaluators gain valuable insights to optimize prospect selection, player development, lineup and in-game decisions.

“Pison stands out as a separator on many levels,” said Sean Casey, MLB Network analyst and former MLB All-Star. “For the first time, we can quantify, track, and train players’ ability that could only be gauged by success and failure on field, and in game. Players now have an invaluable tool to track, train, and elevate their readiness to compete at ever-higher levels of the sport.”

Pison BASEBALL Pro will deliver all of that functionality at scale, and introduce a revolutionary way to measure and improve cognitive performance through wearable devices and AI-powered dashboards.

Pison BASEBALL Pro Founders who purchase during this pre-order campaign will receive early access to product updates for the lifetime of their membership, Pison merchandise, and free access to the seven-week Mental Performance Training program (a $600 value) taught by Zach Sorensen, former MLB player and current mental performance coach for the Cincinnati Reds.

“Pison allows me to gain valuable insights into my cognitive state - fast and accurate reaction times and sound decision-making ability - helping me train smarter and perform at my peak when it matters most,” said JJ Wetherholt, West Virginia standout and first-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals, 2024 MLB Draft. “The agility test is tough, but perfect for baseball. For me, it’s like plate discipline—deciding whether to swing at a fastball or lay off a curveball. It mirrors real-game reactions and helps me assess my readiness to handle pitches."

“At Pison, we aspire to transform human cognition in sports. There’s no better place to start than baseball, a game that is widely understood to be mentally demanding. Milliseconds count, as does the ability to control emotions and persevere under adversity,” said John Croteau, CEO of Pison. “Our neural sensing technology, for the first time, helps athletes perform better on the diamond and off with restorative sleep tracking, stress and anxiety management. Building on that strong life skills foundation through training programs with Zach Sorensen, we add groundbreaking ability to track and train cognitive ability, a lifelong skill for the playing field, classroom, office, and ultimately, the boardroom.”
