Pelotero Partners with The Alliance Fastpitch, Launches Softball’s First Player Intelligence Powered ‘Hit Club’

Softball standouts Baylee Klingler and Rachel Folden sign on as inaugural mentors, bringing personalized development and mentorship to Alliance athletes

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pelotero, the category-defining Player Intelligence platform that uses expertise, data, and AI to hyper-personalize athlete development, today announced a strategic partnership with The Alliance Fastpitch, one of the leading national organizations in fastpitch softball.

As part of the partnership, Pelotero and Alliance are launching the Alliance Hit Club powered by Pelotero - the first Hit Club in softball powered by Player Intelligence and pro-to-youth player mentorship. The Hit Club program gives Alliance athletes access to high-level mentors who use Pelotero’s platform to deliver personalized, data-driven remote development at scale.

While softball has seen a rapid embrace of video, sensors, and performance data, combining these inputs to create a cohesive understanding of individual athletes remains a challenge. The Alliance Hit Club addresses this problem by pairing expert mentorship with Pelotero’s intelligence layer, which analyzes mechanics, power, and in-game performance to generate hyper-personalized training programs.

“Connecting fastpitch players of all stages, from the youth to college to pro, has been at the forefront of the Alliance Fastpitch mission,” said Jami Lobpries, CEO of The Alliance Fastpitch. “The Alliance Hit Club gives our youth athletes direct access to the sharpest hitting minds in our game and provides our elite hitters with a fundamentally better model - combining elite mentorship with a platform that actually understands how players move and develop.”

Professional player Baylee Klingler and current Mets MiLB coach Rachel Folden will lead the inaugural season as the first Hit Club mentors. Each program will feature weekly live virtual sessions tailored towards their specific hitting style and points of the season. Between sessions, athletes will complete individualized training inside the Pelotero platform, with accountability, progress tracking, and continuous feedback built into the experience.

“The future of softball development is going to be about bringing all of these data sources together to create purpose and intent in each training session,” said Bobby Tewksbary, Co-Founder of Pelotero. “By combining world-class mentorship with Player Intelligence, we’re delivering an extraordinary player experience.The Alliance Hit Club is a blueprint for how the next generation of athlete development will be delivered.”

The Alliance Hit Club powered by Pelotero will run seasonal programs in the fall, winter, and spring, with limited enrollment per mentor to preserve quality and personalization. Registration for the inaugural spring cohort is now live - athletes can sign up here to reserve a spot on the waiting list.
