WHAT SOME OF BASEBALL'S BEST HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE DH
Dave
Bingham,
Pitching Coach at #3 Ranked University of Nebraska
"The
Designated Hitter is an invaluable tool in our program at Nebraska. Our
pitchers use it as part of their bullpen routine almost
daily."
"I
have searched for years for a tool that could be used to
provide a hitter's reference for a pitcher in his bullpen
practice and also reduce the risk
of injury created by a real hitter in the box. This product
is the best I have found."
Geoff Zahn,
Winner of 111 MLB games; 6th in Cy Young balloting in 1982
"It
is the best product of its kind on
the market. I like it because it is realistic,
sturdy, easy to move, and in one piece.
"I
really like the stance of the DH because it gives pitchers
the proper perspective of the hitter
and where his body is in relation to the plate.
It is the best tool for helping
pitchers learn to pitch inside."
Lori
Sippel
Associate Head Softball & Pitching Coach
University
of
Nebraska
"We
have used many make shift items in the past, football blocking
dummies etc., in order to give our pitchers a 'game' feel during
bullpens. Your
Designated Hitter is the best we’ve ever used.
"You
are able to move it in the box to represent
all forms of hitters.
Knees, elbows and hands are well represented giving the pitcher a
true hitter look in the batter’s box during workouts and
pre-games.
The only thing missing is the swing."
Fred
Corral,
Pitching Coach at #16 Ranked University of Oklahoma
"My guys love it here as we use it in our pre-game
warm-ups, and 90% of our bullpen
work.
"The fact that the DH is flat has
minimized my concern about ricochets into my
catcher. What a great tool for my guys!"

"I
thought I would let you know how pleased I am with your
product. As Head Pitching instructor for the
Nebraska
Big
Red
Academy
I
am always on the lookout for ways to give my academy the
edge.
I
credit the Designated Hitter as giving us that intangible
edge.
"Until
now we have had no perspective for the pitchers to use when
trying to locate pitches. It
was too dangerous to have someone stand in and too time
consuming to put up a dummy or any other kind of apparatus.
"I
am sold on your product, and having both pitched and coached
at the elite professional baseball level I can certainly see
how beneficial this product is. I
appreciate your attention to detail, and believe the
perspective inside pitch string might be the single greatest
attribute of your product.
Simply put you must pitch in to win. Thank you."
Brian
Cain, MS, CAA
Athletic
Director, North Country Union
High School Newport, VT
"Throwing a bull pen without
a stand-in hitter only develops bad habits
because as a former pitcher, the game changes once someone
gets in the box. You have solved that problem with the DH.
"We
use it every day and our pitchers are improving rapidly
with their command on the
inner half. Your Designated
Hitter training tool is AWESOME."
Mike
Peitzmeier
Head Coach of the Omaha Tigers 13 year old baseball team
- 2005 Final Top 20 USSSA rating
"The
Designated Hitter has been the key to our pitching success.
The DH gives our pitchers confidence
to attack the batter without the fear of hitting them."
"If
they hit the Designated Hitter they
make the proper corrections and keep throwing,
no apologies needed."
Al
Brisack
Head Baseball Coach
Edgewood College
"The DH has really given our pitchers a better feel
for pitching in the entire strike zone. They are noticing
much more confidence in working the inner half of the zone
and find themselves working
more aggressively and game-like than when a teammate stands
in."
"Other
products we have tried in the past are now
collecting dust in storage."
"Thanks for a great product!"
Greg
DiCenzo
Assistant Baseball Coach
Northeastern University
"Everyone,
including the coaches, enjoys using the DH
and we will certainly
gain tremendous confidence
the more
our pitchers are able to use it."
Jim
Trach Jr
Head Baseball Coach
Pen Argyl High School
"Our high school pitchers throw with the DH in the
batters box. Using the very visual pink string,
they
try to throw “INSIDE” the string and take control of the
plate."
"Thanks
so much for all of your help and for providing a very
durable and functional product at a reasonable price."
Philip
Hannon
Head Baseball Coach
Baker University
"The
DH is a great tool for pitchers and catchers at all levels.
It gives the great effect of having someone standing in
the batters box so that the pitchers
can work on hitting their spots."
"My
pitching staff loves the competition
of pitching inside and the DH helps us achieve
that goal effectively."
Travis
Wyckoff
Pitching Coach
Creighton University Bluejays
"We
have been using The Designated Hitter this spring and have
gotten great use out of it!"
"The Designated Hitter is a
great tool for our pitchers
to see hitters in the batters box!"
Byron Embry, former Kansas City Royals pitcher
"I
personally use the DH for my bullpen sessions.
It
brings pitching practice to the next level.
Are you afraid to throw inside? Learn to do it effectively
with this great tool."
Harv
Randecker, Glen Ellyn, IL
Parent of a High School Junior Baseball Pitcher
"Just
wanted to let you know what a enormous difference using the
'Designated Hitter' has made for my son, Scott's, location.
"As
you know, I have had him working with a top notch pitching
instructor here to help him overcome his mechanical problems
likely resulting from the velocity training. It got to
the point where the instructor was saying to me that he's got
a good live arm but is wild and the more suggestions we gave
Scott, the more confused he acted.
"I
just put the DH at the plate in the normal batting position
and it changed that wildness. Now, he not only seldom
throws anything over everyone's head but he actually hits his
spots about 60% to 70% of the time. I'm sure the
difference is in the focus which was not there in the pen
without the DH."
David
Pierce
Rice University Pitching Coach
"The
DH is a great alternative for live hitters. It allows our
pitchers to visualize throwing to spots, as well as building
confidence to throw the ball inside.
Its a tool we will continue to use at Rice University."
Kyle Workman
Manager, Nationally Ranked 11U Baseball Team
"I just wanted to drop you a
note and let you know how much we are enjoying the DH. It has
pretty much solved
the problem
we were having with a couple of our young pitchers; they were
getting gun
shy of hitters that would crowd the plate.
"After awhile the word gets
out, and everyone they faced started crowding the plate. But,
now that we are using the DH we can prepare them mentally to
focus on the glove. We have seen tremendous results already. What
a great yet simple tool!
I have several dads wanting one for home. Thanks again, Kyle"
