Young pitchers often struggle with the finger placement that's crucial in throwing fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Enter the SKLZ Pitch Training Baseball, which teaches right- and left-handed pitchers the proper finger placement with a color-coded pitching key and finger markers printed on the ball. Quickly learn or coach the proper grip for throwing 4-seam fastballs, 2-seam fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Unlike some other training baseballs, the Pitch Training Baseball is the official weight and size of game balls allowing players to train accurately and develop the muscle memory needed to master the pitches more likely to strike batters out. Recommended for youth baseball athletes, the SKLZ Pitch Training Baseball with Finger Placement Markers is the easiest way to create added confidence in players' fastballs, curveballs and sliders to help young players build the skills needed on the mound to face-off against the best hitters in their league.
