Practice throwing inside pitches w/o risking teammates


You never throw a pitch that counts without a batter in the box, so why practice that way?



The Designated Hitter is a silhouette figure of a batter, made of durable, space-age polymers. Standing in the batter’s box during pitching practice, it's a safe alternative to live stand-in batters, allowing pitchers to practice all pitches in a more game-like setting, especially those inside, jamming pitches.



The DH accurately represents key strike zone reference points like the knees, belt and elbows, and the removable drop line helps in training for the inner half against batters who crowd the plate. The rounded edges minimize dangerous deflections on contact.



The result is better prepared, more confident pitchers who throw more strikes. Great for helping young pitchers eliminate the fear of throwing to a live batter, helps older pitchers work on pitches with movement. Also helps catchers learn how to position themselves and throw to bases around the batter.

Recommended for both baseball and fastpitch softball, the DH stands as a left-hand or right-hand batter, and won't tip over if hit (or charge the mound).

Available in two sizes. 5'2" version comes apart at the belt line for easy transport to and from the park by youth league teams. 5'9" version is a single piece for use by H.S., Collegiate, and Pro teams with storage at the field. The DH can be all grey or with a choice of jersey colors.

 "The DH has been a tremendous addition to our program. It has allowed our pitchers to simulate game situations in the bullpen, improved the quality of our side work and, specifically, our ability to locate fastballs on the inner half of the plate. I wholeheartedly recommend this product."- Jim Schlossnagle, Head Coach, TCU (For more on TCU, click here.)
