The unique design of Pitcher's Mate features a life-size reversible batter and a four zone strike target that lets the balls pass through and collect on the other side. Our new design has a photo realistic depiction of the batter, either a baseball batter or a softball batter. You specify what kind of batter you want when you order.

Its sturdy design has been tested by high school and professional teams. It is made of rust-proof marine stainless steel for outdoor and indoor use and is quick and easy to set up.

Pitcher's Mate is praised by baseball and softball coaches, parents and players!

"The biggest attribute the Pitcher's Mate offers developing pitchers is its ability to simulate both left and right-handed hitters. As a young right-handed pitcher, I found it difficult to practice my off-speed pitches to left-handed batters - but now with the Pitcher's Mate, young hurlers can have a switch-hitter accessible in their own back yard."
Craig Allen,
Pitcher - University of Notre Dame 1992-1996, LA Dodgers 1996-1997

"The target has been just what I needed for fine tuning my control. I like the versatility of seeing both the right and left-handed batters. Your product is the most convenient catcher I could ask for. "

"Our school purchased a Pitcher's Mate in 2001 and it is still being used by our program today. It's durability and construction have been put to the test during the past 8 years and it is still as strong and solid as the first day we received it. The Pitcher's Mate has proven to be an invaluable piece of equipment. With the versatility of allowing our pitchers to see both right and left-handed batters and with the numbered strike zone, our pitchers have developed much better command and location of their pitches. This is a must piece of equipment for any coach trying to teach his pitchers to pitch to location."

"The Pitcher's Mate is the perfect teaching tool for anyone having trouble finding the strike zone. Control is the most important part of pitching and this target can be used by any age pitcher throughout the year. I would recommend this target to any coach or parent wanting to make their athlete a better pitcher."

"The Pitcher's Mate is by far the most used piece of equipment in our facility. It allows our instructors to get more work done by not having to catch during our pitching lessons. We also have our batters hit soft toss into it and have done so for the past 2 years. It looks and works as great as the day we got it. We can't praise the Pitcher's Mate enough!"
Jim Romeo,
Director-Spartans Sport Camp- Tenafly, NJ

"My son and I are both very pleased with your pitching target. It really helps him focus on the corners of the strike zone. I was patient in purchasing a pitching screen and looked at many in all shapes and styles. When I saw your design, I knew I had the right one. Thanks again!"
Parent in Idaho

"The targets are really helping me in getting the girls to understand the concept of pitch location in relationship to where the batter is setting up in the box. It is so easy to switch from lefty to righty!! I can adjust the hitters to either crowd the plate or set up away from the plate. This is truly a great product!!"
