What is Pitch Isolation Training?

Do you want to learn to hit the curve ball? Then you need pitch isolation training. Want to hit serious heat? - pitch isolation training.

Pitch Isolation Training is a term given to "isolating" a pitch that you need to work on and you practice hitting that pitch - one after another, a little bit day after day, until you have it mastered.

Pitch Isolation Training is ideal for a pitching machine. You can have the machine throw pitch after pitch consistently around the strike zone. Unlike a batting practice pitcher, the machine is more than willing to throw as many pitches as you would like - without complaint and never gets tired.

Learn to hit the curve ball

The nice thing about a pitching machine (and the Personal Pitcher Pro in particular) is that you can master left and right handed curve balls. Many are familiar with the story of Mickey Mantle who would hit right handed pitches from his dad and left handed pitching from his grandfather every day. With a pitching machine you don't need to recruit two different batting practice pitchers, or even one. Master hitting left handed curves and right handed curves from the pitching machine.

How good are the curve balls?

The Personal Pitcher Pro curves are very good. Sharp breaking curves from a two wheel machine. The two wheel machines throw the best and most realistic curves of the pitching machines. If you are hitting three days a week, you can practice left handed curves on one day, right handed curves on another and fast ball PIT on another.

The Slider

The slider is a harder pitch which breaks less than a regular curve ball. The curve is an off speed pitch. The slider is closer to a fast ball or cut fast ball. The slider is thrown in the big leagues a lot because it is easier to get strikes called than with a big sweeping curve ball. Hitters need to learn to hit both sliders and curve balls. You can practice sliders and curves with your PIT on "curve ball training days" with a flip of a switch. The Personal Pitcher Pro throws both left and right handed sliders too.

I know when we play good hitting teams in our high school age bracket, that they may or may not be a good hitting team if we throw breaking balls and change speeds wisely. The first thing that hitters usually master is the ability to hit straight pitches, i.e. the four seam fast ball. They usually don't get enough practice against curves (let alone sliders) to be real proficient at hitting them. So, we will throw curves for strikes and chase fast balls. They will usually take the curve balls (for strikes) and then when they get the fast ball finally, they chase it with a bad swing on a bad pitch. Learn to hit pitches. Learn early how to track a ball and hit the curve or slider. The ability to hit pitches with movement is what separates the average hitters from the good hitters.

Polyball Batting Practice

The most practical way to improve your hitting skill. Serious batting practice - at home. (indoors or outdoors.) Fast balls, curve balls and sliders. Don't waste another coin at a commercial batting cage. Great for all ages and skill levels.
