Improve Your Plate Discipline with the Batting Practice Strike Recognition Trainer
Unlock your hitting potential with the Batting Practice Strike Recognition Trainer (BPSRT). This tool helps you master strike zone recognition during overhand batting practice, which translates into better performance on game day. The BP-SRT encourages consistent swings at strikes and reduces swings at bad pitches, enhancing your overall plate discipline.
Create a Personalized Strike Zone
The BPSRT allows you to focus on early strike recognition by swinging only at pitches that pass through the "V" focal area. The goal is to identify and swing at strikes, helping you make better swing decisions, regardless of contact quality. Obviously, contact quality will significantly improve though by swinging at strikes.
Simplify Strike Recognition Training
Training a hitter to distinguish between balls and strikes is simple yet effective when following key principles:
- Start by throwing intentional contrast pitches—non-strikes or balls—in random sequences.
- To create contrast, never throw more than three strikes in a row with the BPSRT.
Non-strikes (balls):
- The first type of non-strike passes through the circle but not the V focus area.
- Tracking this pitch helps develop a critical eye movement pattern for recognizing balls that should be taken.
- The second type of non-strike can be thrown into the net or outside the device entirely.
- This shortens the tracking time for a "ball" and creates a sharp contrast between balls and strikes.
Strikes:
- Strikes pass through the V focus area, prompting a longer tracking path and leading to a swing.
- The secondary objective is to keep hitters focused on strikes and disengage quickly when a pitch is recognized as a non-strike.
Customizable Training with Adjustable Height Settings
The BPSRT offers two adjustable height settings for versatile training. Adjust the fiberglass rods depending on your distance from home plate—lower for closer placements and higher for farther distances. This flexibility ensures that the trainer is always positioned correctly, including for seated overhand tosses.
Achieve Significant Improvements in Your Swing
Using the BPSRT is both simple and effective. Follow the guidelines in the User’s Instructions to improve strike recognition and swing consistency. Whether you're working on timing or refining your swing, this trainer helps unlock your strike zone recognition and enhances your game-day performance.
