The Ultimate Pitcher's & Catcher's Plate Pitching Trainer

The Ultimate pitching trainer is designed to help pitchers improve command of their pitches on the corners and just off the corners of the plate. "Command is something that you really can't teach, but you can improve it," pitching coach Mike Maddux of the Milwaukee Brewers said. "You can't teach Greg Maddux command or Roger Clemens command" but you can provide a tool to help a pitcher improve their skills and the Ultimate pitching trainer is just such a tool. It fills a long exsisting void in baseball training equipment.

Pitching on the corner(s) is not a breakthrough in the science of pitching. Coaches everywhere tell pitchers that to be successful, you have to work the outside and inside corners. The Ultimate pitcher's and catcher's plate is designed to give pitchers and catchers a better visual in order to execute.

The Ultimate Pitcher's and Catcher's Plate is a very simple tool to use. The orange edges are 5" wide on the top and 7" wide on the bottom front of the plate and are a visual target for the pitcher to see. The 5” orange edges and white part of the plate cover 2.5” of a traditional home plate and 2.5” off of a traditional home plate. The back part of the plate is to help position the catcher. The catcher learns to center his or her body on the point of the white part of the plate giving the pitcher the ultimate target to throw to on either corner of the plate. This outstanding training tool is also perfect for fastpitch softball pitchers and catchers.

The plate is made of (ABS) thermoplastics which demonstrate good resistance to impact, even at low temperatures,and is unaffected by changes in humidity. The plate is scuff and stain resistant, has a high gloss finish with excellent dimensional stability and good environmental stress cracking resistance. The plate is easy to carry because it weighs just under two pounds so it can be carried wherever you practice or play.

The Ultimate Pitcher's and Catcher's Plate was chosen as one of the Top New Products at the American Baseball Coaches Association National Convention in Nashville, TN in January of 2005. Ten Division I Baseball Programs in the Top 25 national rankings are using The Ultimate Pitcher's and Catcher's Plate.
