Reported launch delay was roughly 130-150 days depending on the January anchor.
Research Note
0/6 open
This is based on public-source facts plus market research from multiple sources. If a stronger alternative report exists, the numbers should move with the data.
The public record shows 14 App Store entries. That includes the May 12, 2025 launch listing, 10 updates before the quiet period, a 203-day update gap, and 3 updates after the gap.

Most public notes read as bug fixes, performance work, UI changes, or minor listing work. That can be real work, but it does not read like heavy product expansion.
Only the Jun 22, 2026 listing clearly reads bigger: AI features, announcements, free trial, stability, and UI.
Benchmark ReadApp Store + Model
A 20-update target stays inside the 15-30 expected range for 14 months. The public record lands 7 short, about 35% under that target. Market guides commonly point to monthly or 2-4 week updates for active apps, so a 203-day public silence is the outlier.
Release MixRelease Notes
Honest read: July and September are the visible public bursts. August has one public release, so an August-heavy work claim needs internal source support, not App Store proof alone.
Bottom Line: For a tech division trying to grow, the count is light and the silence is the problem. The 203-day public gap makes the record look more like maintenance mode than steady product movement.

A clean market read separates build, maintenance, and update work. These are benchmark ranges, not actual spend records.
Build Today$60kApprox current build cost
Build Then$120kHigh-end 2-4 years ago
Maintain Today$12-24k/yrAnnual operating model
Maintain Max$60k/yrHigh-end first-year model
Update Today$2-3kTypical minor update
Update Then$4-5kPast high-end max
Update Workload13 updates x 1-2 days = 13-26 developer days, roughly three work weeks before bigger features.
Growth ReadA growth-focused app should show roughly 20 meaningful update cycles, not just 13 public post-launch updates.
Benchmark OnlyMarket research context, not proof that every release was separately invoiced.
The useful price story is not just the final $215 number. The price concern was raised before launch, then the lower price still did not solve the product-depth issue.
Nate's Gold Glove
$297/year
VS
Nate's infield membership included team calendars, 5-Tool Training, College Fit List, and recruiting-system pieces.
Platform context: same Thinkific-style system Greg used for baseball/recruiting work, not the same Gold Glove product.
Trosky 365
$215/year
Current public pricing is $19.99/month or $214.99/year, rounded here to $20/month or $215/year.
That is about $57-82 less than a $297 Gold Glove year, depending on monthly versus yearly comparison.
Price timeline scroll sideways ->
Concept notes say the app was marketed around $500 with no discount, before the product had proven depth.
The concern was on the table while launch timing and team-tool expectations kept moving.
The public App Store listing now shows $19.99/month and $214.99/year.
The lower price does not erase the smaller feature set, team-tool gap, or flexibility issue.
Timeline moves left to right swipe / scroll ->
- App first, team tools immediately after.
- Very doable features people wanted, similar in spirit to Nate's Shot Clock app.
- Back then: roughly $20k-$30k to build; smaller features about half now.
- Pricing was still unresolved.
- Detailed concepts and competitor-tool ideas were already visible.
- Some concepts could be standalone high-value businesses if built right.
- May 2025 launch instead of the expected window.
- Timelines moved and team tools still did not have a real plan.
- Wireframes and full design concepts were on the table.
- Team and camp tools did not compete with the current app.
- Ideas matched Trosky-style programs that already worked.
- Another year was effectively lost.
- The expectation was still a team-tool solution that made sense for everyone.
- Keep the point tight: the promise kept moving.
- The concept shifted from delayed to not being built.
- That is the core product-promise issue.
Demand context: the team side was described as 2-3x growth over the last year, with Nate's camps still strong and steady demand for uniforms, apparel, academy programs, and college recruiting. That makes the missing team-tool path look worse, not better.
