Defensive Baseball Training Aids

Posts Tagged ‘ground ball’

When it comes to developing that needed instinct for your team to deal with the bad hop ball, there is nothing like the defensive training tool, the ReactionPro® pad. This is the defensive tool that produces real results.

This special pad reacts differently each and every time the ball comes in contact with it. Its reaction to the ball is unpredictable which makes its use ideal to help your players be prepared for that bad hop ball. We all have seen it.

A ground ball is hit in the infield and is going straight towards a player until it hits a gopher mound, then in an instant the ball changes direction and the hit becomes a single with a runner on base instead of an out. This is so unpredictable that everyone just says “ohh” bad luck.

But when this bad hop ball is snagged everyone is amazed and thinks the fielder is a great ball player. You can have a whole team like that when you utilize this excellent training pad into your team’s defensive workout training during practice.

Not until now was there a way to train for the bad hop ball unless your field had many gopher mounds and hitting one each time is just luck. The ReactionPro® pad will give your players that repetition on this specific type of training that will make a difference in the ball game.

When your team starts to react rather than think, this is when you know the ReactionPro® pad is doing its job. Training with this pad does not give time for thinking, just reacting. Your players’ reaction time will not only improve but also their hand to eye coordination, agility and stamina will become more acute.

The ReactionPro® Pad was designed to specifically help your team develop their defensive skills so they will be in a better position to win games.

For baseball reflex training coaches have tried a variety of ways to help their players improve.  Most of these ways are predictable and the players are somewhat better prepared, but this did not always translate to better fielding during a game situation.

A father knew this and because of the desire to help his son improve in this area he decided to do something about it. After some time the ReactionPro® Pad was developed. This simple device helped his son improve his reflexes and ability to react at a moment’s notice. That is what it takes to stop that bad hop ball during a game, reacting not thinking.

It took less than one season of practice with the ReactionPro® for this son to improve his defensive reaction skills to the level other fathers and coaches started to ask about this new training technique. Before long the demand was so great that it developed into a business.

At this time of the year you will be able o enjoy keeping your skills sharpened by using this training too indoors.  It does not take a whole lot of space, say in a gym or your cellar or a barn, actually anywhere two people can throw the ball.  The coach or teammate throws the ball at the training pad and the fielder in training has to react to the ball no matter which direction it happens to hop to.

This is very similar to the unpredictability of a ground ball that is hit to the infield to to the outfield.  You just never know what little divot or crevice might make a ball hop off into a direction you were not planning on.  That is the inherit beauty of the ReactionPro® baseball reflex training pad.
