The Pitching Pad

As a child just learning how to throw, you have the entire area inside the gray outline in which to try and hit. As the person develops, they can then concentrate on targeting the different colored areas. Finally, as an advanced player, they can target specific numbers in which to throw.

The different stages of learning are all accounted for, and the player can develop at their own pace while challenging themselves along the way.

The numbers on The Pitching Pad are used as an advanced training tool.

In baseball, the movement of an off-speed pitch is oftentimes described by using numbers on a clock for reference. For example, a good curve ball can be described as moving 12 to 6. This is because the ball would start high in what would be in the 12 o'clock position and then move straight down to what would be the 6 o'clock position. The same is true for all the pitches that a person can throw, right or left handed.

By using the markings on The Pitching Pad as reference points, a person can develop their skills better and more rapidly. A player can learn how far their pitches will move and where to start them, so they will end up where they want. The player knows exactly where the ball ends up each time, so they can more effectively make adjustments.
