Insider BatPower Pod Softball Training Aid Pitching Gear Pitch Equipment Trainer

I love this. I use this for every pitching lesson!

This really is a versatile product for youth softball or baseball players. I use it when I give pitching lessons in particular. I put it in front of the pitching rubber and have the athlete place her drive foot on top. This helps her feel the lift of the heel on a strong drive forward. I also have older girls use it for riseball spins. Both girls and boys can use it for various hitting drills as well.

For the price it is hard to be too critical of the device. I have used it with my daughter (13) for both pitching and hitting drills. Took me and her pitching coach a while to determine the best use of the device. Going through her throwing motion without a ball and feeling the "fall-forward" that this help amplify seamed to be the best approach for her. Coach liked it enough to add one to her bag. For hitting, gave good feedback to teach driving off the back foot a bit more for my daughter who is a fairly good hitter to begin with but needs to focus on her hip slap and leg drive for more power. We will see if this does anything for her brother who still dances in the box. Only issue I have is due to the overall size, removing it from the drills required a learned adjustment. Common issue I have with a lot of the products on the market trying to enforce certain specific movements.

Exactly as pictured. Used for softball pitching drills. Good price. Good quality.

My daughter pitches in 12U. We go to an instructor who regularly uses this in lesson. We got one to use at home. It helps my daughter work on driving off the mound. We have noticed an increase in speed after using this for a few weeks. I would check with a coach or instructor (or youtube) for proper use, but it really has improved my daughter's pitching.

My daughter uses this to help push off while practicing her pitching since we don’t have a mound at home.

A cheap way to lighten the toe drag and gain speed to explode off the pitching rubber with the right knee and foot.
