Pro Command Pitching Target (Life Size Catcher!)

Velocity is the driving force in today’s game with most of the attention geared to how fast, how much spin, or how much separation between each pitch. Commanding the baseball usually takes a back seat to all the above. As a result, young pitchers have high pitch counts and over time can lead to injuries in young athletes. Pitchers that throw strikes have low pitch counts and ultimately, the less you throw from inning to inning or game to game it stands to reason there would be less the chance of injury.

Once you own a Pro Command, the days of having to search for a catcher are over. The Pro Command is flexible to be attached to any Soccer net, Lacrosse goal, an L-screen or any fence you find to get your throwing program in.

PROFESSIONAL PITCHERS

Understanding a sound and repeatable delivery allows pitchers the best chance to locate and command their pitches. With the set-up of the targets, a pitcher can now use all the technology information of your pitch characteristics and blend them into the perfect bullpen session. The catcher’s mitts are set up in the exact locations that highly successful pitchers consistently hit to attain the wealth and riches they earn. Fastball to both sides of the plate are needed for Left or Right-handed pitchers. The fastball at the top or above the zone are essential in today’s spin rate and vertical lift era for strikeouts above the bat. Curveballs with high spin rate and negative vertical action complement the high fastball for swings and misses. Sliders with horizontal and slight negative vertical break coupled with 9:00 spin direction have a home for Left and right-handed pitchers. The pitcher that can kill spin with his change-up, and have horizontal, and negative vertical break, combined with 2:30 to 3:00 spin direction will separate it from the fastball. Blending your pitches in and out, up and down, and back and forth, gives the pitcher the ideal sequencing to dominate hitters.
