Bullpen Training Sessions:

Creating your own sessions is as easy as putting the mouse on the zone and clicking the button. A listing of pitches will display. You can then add pitches to the listing if you like. When you've entered all the pitches you want, simply select 'Save Session'. You can go back and edit sessions later, and you can use any session entered for all of your pitchers. The software requests & records every pitch.Once you click 'Begin', the computer walks the pitcher through each pitch entered in the session. The software displays the pitcher's name and session name, then charts all of the information thrown during the session including pitch location and velocity (optional). The software then gives the pitcher a rating based on error distance of the pitch, with a rating of 100 for hitting the requested spot. The rating quickly diminishes as the pitcher's error increases, with a miss of 20+ inches having a rating of 0. When a training session is complete, it is saved in the system and 6 printouts are available. Click here to view or download a sample printout. Page 1 gives a summary, and Page 2 is a pitch listing that shows the pitch sequence entered and the requested location - exactly as it was entered into the training software program. The accuracy and velocity information is then added for each pitch thrown. Page 3 shows the History Plot for the pitches thrown, with darkened circles indicating accuracy. Page 4 is the Bullseye Plot which shows pinpoint accurate pitches - a quick and easy way to see how accurately the pitcher is throwing. Page 5 is a Velocity Graph, and Page 6 is an Accuracy Graph.

Blackbelt Throwing Program:

The BlackBelt Throwing Program is based on the martial arts system of increased levels of difficulty with definable goals and levels of achievement. Athletes are rewarded with T-shirts instead of belts that they can wear with a sense of pride and achievement. As the player moves through the levels, which increase in difficulty, the zone into which they are throwing shrinks. The blackbelt level player must demonstrate a mastery of hitting the glove. Each lesson consists of 10 pitch sessions repeated 3 times for a total of 30 pitches. The picture to the left shows all the zones; during actual play, only the zone for the current level will be visible. Reports are available showing the players that finish a session as a group, and individual reports are
