Pitching Dummy Product Types
In our collection, you'll find three main types of pitching dummies: full-size dummies, strike zone targets, and small targets. Each type serves a specific purpose in helping pitchers improve their game.
Full-Size Pitching Dummies
Full-size pitching dummies are life-size replicas of batters, allowing pitchers to practice throwing to a realistic target. These dummies, like the Pitching Dummy Pro with Removable Legs ($299.99), are perfect for pitchers who want to simulate game-like situations and work on hitting specific locations on a batter's body. We also have ball feeder product variety for your training sessions.
Strike Zone Targets
Strike zone targets, such as the Pitching Target Zone Strike Attachment ($99.99), focus specifically on the strike zone area. These smaller targets help pitchers zero in on throwing strikes consistently. They're great for pitchers who want to refine their accuracy within the strike zone and improve their ability to paint the corners.
Small Targets
Small targets, like the Pitch Target Trainer ($49.99), are compact and versatile, making them ideal for indoor practice or when space is limited. These targets allow pitchers to work on their precision and hit small, specific spots repeatedly. They're perfect for pitchers who want to develop pinpoint accuracy and control. Also, if your pitching machine ever breaks or runs out of a wheel, we have got you covered with our pitching machine wheels collection.
How to Choose a Pitching Dummy
When selecting a pitching dummy, consider your skill level, available practice space, portability needs, and budget. Beginners may benefit from starting with a full-size dummy to get a feel for throwing to a realistic target. As you advance, incorporating strike zone and small targets can help you refine your accuracy and precision.
If you have limited practice space, strike zone targets and small targets are excellent options. They're compact and can be easily set up indoors or in smaller areas. On the other hand, if you have ample outdoor space, a full-size dummy can provide a more realistic training experience.
Portability is another factor to consider. Some dummies, like the Pitching Dummy Pro, have removable legs for easy transport and storage. Others, like the inflatable Pitch Target Trainer, can be quickly deflated and packed away when not in use.
Finally, consider your budget. Our collection offers pitching dummies ranging from around $50 to $300, depending on size and features. Investing in a quality pitching dummy that suits your needs can pay off in the long run by helping you improve your skills and performance on the mound.
At The Baseball Home, we're committed to providing you with the best pitching dummies and targets to help you improve your game.
