Pitch Control
Too Many Walks... Not Enough First Pitch Strikes... “Pitching Training Aids”
Many products make hopeful promises--
But can they deliver?
If you are one of the many youth, high school, or college pitchers who struggle with pitch control, you are considered “fair game” for a variety of products claiming to offer “the cure.”
The fact is that there is no simple cure for poor pitch location. There are just too many factors that affect pitch control. Throwing mechanics, natural abilities, concentration, etc. So, anyone who claims to offer a “cure” should be regarded with suspicion.
Your Coach Knows Best
If you have read or heard these claims and are considering the purchase of such a device or training aid, we urge you to check with your coach or pitching instructor first. Let him assess for you the merits of the product you are considering before you spend your hard-earned dollars.
However, if your basic pitching mechanics are sound, there is a product that can help you improve your pitch control by learning how to focus and hit your spots more often.
It’s called the Designated Hitter. Introduced only three years ago, coaches all across the country are now recommending it as a means to imporove pitch control -- and with good reason.
"Our pitchers have really enjoy throwing to the DH. Every bullpen in America should have one!”
Scott Jackson, Pitching Coach,
Liberty University
"Many pitchers are a bit timid when learning to throw inside, but the DH has taken away this fear. Thanks for a great product."
John Tschida, Head Softball Coach,
St. Thomas University (MN)
"A great alternative for live hitters. The DH allows our pitchers to visualize throwing to spots, and builds their confidence to throw the ball inside. Its a tool we will continue to use at Rice University."
David Pierce Pitching Coach
Rice University
The Designated Hitter is a revolutionary training aid. A professional, switch-hitting silhouette of a standing batter, the DH is durable—made of a space-age polymer to withstand 100-plus mile-per-hour fast balls without splitting or tipping over. Yet, because it’s lightweight, under forty pounds, the DH is easy to move and position anywhere in the batter’s box.
Two Unique Benefits
The DH includes an inside pitching target. It gives pitchers a line on throwing to the inside part of the plate and quickly teaches them how to pitch inside with confidence.
Other design features make it easy to simulate game conditions, and different batting positions within the batter’s box-- so you can bring more realism into each practice session.
Special Trial Offer
Now, at no risk, you can see for yourself why the Houston Astros, Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres, UNC, Rice, the U of Nebraska, Creighton, U of Vermont, and others are using the DH to train their pitchers. Simply order the DH and put it to your own test. Then, if you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll refund your entire purchase price.
