Abstract
A pitching training aid includes a mat, a pitching rubber attached to the mat and indicia displayed on the mat to instruction a baseball player on how to pitch a baseball. The indicia includes the steps of “start,” “rocker,” “pivot/balance” and “step/release.” The indicia also includes a series of arrows which instructs the baseball player on the sequence of the steps. A straight line extends from the pitching rubber down a center of the mat to show where the “step/release” position should be. A top surface of the mat has an artificial grass surface and a bottom surface of the mat includes a nonskid material to prevent the mat from sliding during use. The mat may include two pitching rubbers and two sets of indicia on opposites ends thereof with one pitching rubber and indicia being used to instruct right hand pitchers and the other pitching rubber and indicia being used to instruct left handed pitchers.
Description
- The present application is directed to a pitching training aid. More specifically, the present application relates to a pitching training aid for teaching baseball pitchers the proper footwork and technique for pitching a baseball.
- Pitching a baseball requires very complex mechanics. These mechanics require coordination of footwork, hand and arm position and throwing technique. For a younger player learning how to pitch. These mechanics can be overwhelming to remember.
- In one embodiment, a pitching training aid comprises a mat having a pitching rubber. Indicia are printed on the mat to show proper footwork during the pitching motion. The user starts his pitching motion with his feet on the starting indicia. The user steps through the pitching motion by placing his feet on the subsequent indicia through completion of the pitching motion.
- In another embodiment, a pitching rubber is included on both ends of an elongated mat. Indicia for a right handed pitcher are at one end of the mat and indicia for a left handed pitcher are at the other end of the mat.
- Various embodiments of a pitching training aid are illustrated and described below. It will be appreciated that the illustrated boundaries of elements in the drawings represent one or more examples of the boundaries. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that an element or step may be designed as multiple elements or steps or that multiple elements or steps may be designed as a single element or step. An element shown as an internal component of another element may be implemented as an external component and vice-versa.
- Further, in the accompanying drawings and description that follow, like parts are indicated throughout the drawings and description with the same reference numerals, respectively. The figures are not drawn to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated for convenience of illustration.

FIG. 1 generally shows the pitching training aid at 100.Pitching training aid 100 includes amat 102. Mat 102 can be of various shapes but is shown inFIG. 1 in a rectangular shape having attop surface 103elongated sides short sides elongated sides pitching rubber 110 is attached nearshort side 106 ofmat 102.Pitching rubber 110 is rectangular in shape and includes afront edge 120, arear edge 122, opposedsides 124 that extend parallel tosides mat 102, and atop surface 126. Pitchingrubber 110 is made of a solid molded rubber material and is glued or otherwise attached tomat 102. Aline 130 is drawn, stamped or painted onmat 102 parallel tosides Line 130 starts at thefront edge 120 ofpitching rubber 110 and extends longitudinally towardsshort side 108 ofmat 102. - A series of indicia, indicated generally at 140, are drawn, stamped, painted or otherwise displayed on
mat 102.Indicia 140 are shown inFIG. 1 in the form of footprints and provide instructions to the user ofpitching training aid 100 on the proper footwork and sequence of steps for pitching a baseball.Indicia 140 include a pair offootprints Footprints pitching rubber 110 with his toes facingshort side 108 ofmat 102 and slightly overhanging thefront edge 120 ofpitching rubber 110.Foot prints - An arrow A is shown leading
footprint 144 backwards from the starting position to the second step indicated byfootprint 148, which is marked ROCKER. Another arrow B is shown leadingfootprint 142 to a third step indicated byfootprint 150, which his marked PIVOT/BALANCE.Footprint 150 is shown adjacentfront edge 120 ofpitching rubber 110 with the user's toes pointing towardselongated side 104 ofmat 102. - The fourth step is indicated by
footprint 152, which is marked STEP/RELEASE.Footprint 152 is placed online 130 with the user's toes pointing towardsshort side 108 ofmat 102. Alternatively, the words STEP/RELEASE could be printed directly online 130 to show a user where to step for the fourth step of the pitching motion, as shown inFIG. 4 . -
Pitching training aid 100 is used to instruct a baseball player on the proper footwork to throw a pitch. The user starts with his feet onfootprints footprint 144 tofootprint 148. The user then takes the PIVOT step by moving his right foot fromfootprint 142 tofoot print 150, parallel to and in front of the pitching rubber. At the BALANCE portion of the pitching motion the user will bring his left leg fromfootprint 148 to a position parallel tofootprint 150. The user's knee will be bent and at an approximately 90 degree angle as the user balances on one foot onfootprint 150. The user will have his hands together in front of his chest gripping the ball in his throwing hand with the ball and throwing hand in the user's glove. Upon beginning the throwing motion the user will separate his hands reaching back towardsshort side 106 ofmat 102 with the ball in his throwing hand and will move his glove hand towardsshort side 108 ofmat 102. The user will then step onfootprint 152 with his left foot and release the ball to throw the pitch. - In another embodiment of the pitching training aid shown in
FIG. 3 ,mat 102 includes atop layer 160 and abottom layer 162.Top layer 160 is made of a synthetic grass andbottom layer 162 is made of a rubber non-skid surface that would preventmatt 102 from sliding on a hard surface, thus allowing the pitching training aid ofFIG. 3 to be used on surfaces such as a gym floor. - Another embodiment of the pitching training aid is shown in
FIG. 4 . The pitching training aid ofFIG. 4 includes an arrow C to instruct the user to move his foot from the ROCKER step offootprint 148 to the position offootprint 164.Footprint 164 is shown in dotted lines to instruct the user to keep his left foot elevated abovemat 102 as described above during the BALANCE step of the pitching motion.Footprint 164 is positioned generally parallel to and adjacent PIVOT/BALANCE footprint 150. An additional arrow D may be shown to instruct the user to move his left foot from the elevated position offootprint 164 to the STEP/RELEASE portion of the pitching motion. The fourth step of STEP/RELEASE is displayed inFIG. 4 directly online 130. This allows for users of various heights to use the pitching training aid, as the user is not directed to step on a footprint that he might not be able to reach or that doesn't give him a sufficient distance to stride. The user will step forward and land online 130 regardless of the user's height and length of his stride. Additionally, as shown inFIG. 4 , the pitching training aid may include anarea 170 to direct the user to place his pivot foot after delivering the pitch. - Another embodiment of the pitching training aid is shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 and includes a pitchingrubber 110 andindicia mat 102. Theindicia 140 is closest toshort end 106 ofmat 102 and includes instructions for right handed pitchers.
