A Coach's Must-Have for Pitchers
Level Up Your Bullpens
Every pitcher needs a body in the box. The Pinch Hitter gives you a full-size batter to throw against — so you can work on hitting your spots, painting corners, and pitching off the hands without putting a teammate at risk. Plus it makes bullpen sessions fun and engaging for pitchers.
Unlike other stand in batters on the market, the Pinch Hitter looks alive, realistic, and is ready to swing. Contour lines define the creases in its jersey, its face, its helmet, its bat — the details that make your pitcher's brain believe there's a real hitter in front of them, creating the most realistic, game-like bullpen scenario possible. More realistic reps, improved command, more K's.
Knees to Letters Strike Zone Visualization
Command isn't just about hitting a spot — it's about hitting a spot relative to the hitter you're facing. The Pinch Hitter puts a full-size batter in the box, knees bent and back elbow up in a live hitting stance, so pitchers get a natural, realistic strike zone to aim for — from the knees to letters. Pitchers who understand the strike zone trust their pitches more and will perform better on game day.
Pitching Dummy Features
- Lifelike batter silhouette — pitchers train against a realistic target, building real command that shows up in games
- Knees to letters strike zone — from the hollow of the knee to the letters, pitchers get a defined strike zone to target
- Instant LH/RH conversion — allows pitchers to practice against lefties and righties every session, the way a real lineup comes at them
- Weighted base that won't tip or move — no interruptions, no resets, just more reps and faster development
- Integrated posts - The universally sized posts allow you to add 5-10 lbs of extra weight if needed
- Indoor/outdoor use — year-round bullpen work keeps pitchers sharp and ahead of the competition come spring
- Treaded bottom for extra grip
- For baseball and softball
- Available in Red, Blue, and Yellow.
Anatomy of the Pinch Hitter
Every part, explained
- LIFE-SIZE BATTER SILHOUETTE
True-to-life proportions modeled from a real hitter's stance — so pitchers see a real batter in the box instead of an empty net. - HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) BODY
The same weatherproof, impact-resistant material used by YETI and Pelican — built to take direct hits and last outdoors year-round. - CONTOURED DETAIL LINES
Sculpted contour lines add depth and realism, giving pitchers a defined target that reads as human at every angle. - INTEGRATED UNIVERSAL WEIGHT POSTS
Cylindrical posts on the base accept standard plate weights — add 5, 10, or 25 lbs for heavier stability in high wind or high-velocity sessions. - 18 LB WEIGHTED OCTAGONAL BASE
Heavy anchored base keeps the dummy locked in place through fastballs, wind, and long training sessions — no anchoring required. - LEFTY-TO-RIGHTY FLIP DESIGN
Rotate the silhouette in one motion to switch stances — train pitchers against both handedness without buying two units.
