Since I have a few alternate vocations in the 'Youth Arena', I purchased one of these units.

It is reliable, rarely falses (cell phone calls, motors and fluorescent lamp starts), and gives a decent heads up in my neck-o-the-woods. Which is usually actually IN the woods (Scouting)!

For baseball, it has given me no advantage over simply being alert (and having an alert partner).

One time, it indicated a series of strikes 20-40 miles away. At that time, there was a clear blue sky above. Nothing to indicate trouble brewing. In about 45-50 minutes, the storm was upon us and the game was suspended. That was the only time an alert was associated with a game I was in.

I have used this device more so while camping and hiking since the skyline is even more obscured there.

FWIW.
