 Everywhere Coaches, Parents & Players Are Raving About This Revolutionary Batting Figure For Perfecting Pitch Location More And More Major League, College, and High School Teams Are Turning to the Designated Hitter to Help Pitchers Master Pitch Location "...an invaluable tool in our program at Nebraska." "The Designated Hitter is an invaluable tool in our program at Nebraska. Our pitchers use it as part of their bullpen routine almost daily. "I have searched for years for a tool that could be used to provide a hitter's reference for a pitcher in his bullpen practice and also reduce the risk of injury created by a real hitter in the box." (It is risky to work on inside pitch location with a live batter.) "This product is the best I have found." Dave Bingham, Pitching Coach at #3 Ranked University of Nebraska -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The only thing missing is the swing." "We have used many make shift items in the past, football blocking dummies etc., in order to give our pitchers a 'game' feel during bullpens. (Practicing pitch location with makeshift items to imitate batters just doesn't work.)Your Designated Hitter is the best we've ever used. "You are able to move it in the box to represent all forms of hitters. Knees, elbows and hands are well represented giving the pitcher a true hitter look in the batter's box during workouts and pre-games." (We call these key pitch location points.) "The only thing missing is the swing." Lori Sippel, Associate Head Softball & Pitching Coach University of Nebraska -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...visualize throwing to spots..." "The DH is a great alternative for live hitters. It allows our pitchers to visualize throwing to spots, as well as building confidence to throw the ball inside. (It's so true how good pitch location builds winning confidence.) It's a tool we will continue to use at Rice University." David Pierce Rice University Pitching Coach -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...we use it in our pre-game warm-ups, and 90% of our bullpen work." "My guys love it here as we use it in our pre-game warm-ups, and 90% of our bullpen work. "The fact that the DH is flat has minimized my concern about ricochets into my catcher. What a great tool for my guys!" Fred Corral, Pitching Coach at #16 Ranked University of Oklahoma -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...noticing much more confidence..." "The DH has really given our pitchers a better feel for pitching in the entire strike zone." (Pitch location means the ability to consistantly put the ball where you want it.) "They are noticing much more confidence in working the inner half of the zone and find themselves working more aggressively and game-like than when a teammate stands in. "Other products we have tried in the past are now collecting dust in storage. "Thanks for a great product!" Al Brisack, Head Baseball Coach Edgewood College -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...gain tremendous confidence..." "Everyone, including the coaches, enjoys using the DH and we will certainly gain tremendous confidence the more our pitchers are able to use it." Greg DiCenzo, Assistant Baseball Coach Northeastern University -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...great tool for pitchers and catchers at all levels." "The DH is a great tool for pitchers and catchers at all levels. It gives the great effect of having someone standing in the batters box so that the pitchers can work on hitting their spots." (The DH helps pitchers learn to concentrate, which is key to good pitch location.) "My pitching staff loves the competition of pitching inside and the DH helps us achieve that goal effectively." Philip Hannon, Head Baseball Coach Baker University -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...great tool for our pitchers to see hitters in the batters box!" "We have been using The Designated Hitter this spring and have gotten great use out of it! "The Designated Hitter is a great tool for our pitchers to see hitters in the batters box!" (Pitching batting practice is not the same as using the DH. Batting practice is for the batter. Pitching practice with the DH teaches pitch location.) Travis Wyckoff, Pitching Coach Creighton University Bluejays -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...a very durable and functional product at a reasonable price." "Our high school pitchers throw with the DH in the batters box. Using the very visual pink string, they try to throw "INSIDE" the string and take control of the plate." (Young pitchers should throw often on the sidelines to a target to master pitch location.) Jim Trach Jr, Head Baseball Coach Pen Argyl High School -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...the key to our pitching success." "The Designated Hitter has been the key to our pitching success. The DH gives our pitchers confidence to attack the batter without the fear of hitting them. "If they hit the Designated Hitter they make the proper corrections and keep throwing, no apologies needed." (Pitchers learn pitch location by repetition. Since the DH remains standing after being hit, you get to spend more time practicing.) Mike Peitzmeier, Head Coach of the Omaha Tigers A 13 year old baseball team - 2005 Final Top 20 USSSA rating -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We use it every day and our pitchers are improving rapidly..." "Throwing a bull pen without a stand-in hitter only develops bad habits because as a former pitcher, the game changes once someone gets in the box. "We use it every day and our pitchers are improving rapidly with their command on the inner half. Your Designated Hitter training tool is AWESOME." Brian Cain MS, CAA, Athletic Director, North Country Union High School Newport, VT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...the best tool for helping pitchers learn to pitch inside." "It is the best product of its kind on the market. I like it because it is realistic, sturdy, easy to move, and in one piece. "I really like the stance of the DH because it gives pitchers the proper perspective of the hitter and where his body is in relation to the plate. It is the best tool for helping pitchers learn to pitch inside." Geoff Zahn, Winner of 111 MLB games; 6th in Cy Young balloting in 1982 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It brings pitching practice to the next level." "I personally use the DH for my bullpen sessions. It brings pitching practice to the next level. Are you afraid to throw inside? Learn to do it effectively with this great tool." Byron Embry, Former Kansas City Royals pitcher -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Until now we have had no perspective for the pitchers to use when trying to locate pitches..." "I thought I would let you know how pleased I am with your product. As Head Pitching instructor for the Nebraska Big Red Academy I am always on the lookout for ways to give my academy the edge. I credit the Designated Hitter as giving us that intangible edge. "Until now we have had no perspective for the pitchers to use when trying to locate pitches. It was too dangerous to have someone stand in and too time consuming to put up a dummy or any other kind of apparatus." (Remember, pitch location doesn't just mean the ability to put the ball over the plate. In means putting the ball where you want it.) "I am sold on your product, and having both pitched and coached at the elite professional baseball level I can certainly see how beneficial this product is. I appreciate your attention to detail, and believe the perspective inside pitch string might be the single greatest attribute of your product. Simply put you must pitch in to win. Thank you." Saul Soltero, Former Professional Pitcher/Instructor, San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers Big Red Academy Elite Pitching Instructor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While you may know some of these coaches and players, we would never ask you to take their word for it. Nor would we ask you to believe this professional coach and that professional ballplayer, and this major league pitching coach or whatnot.
