Our 3 Players' Picks

This one is straight from the source. These are the items our three players reach for over and over again, the things they grab without being asked and notice when they are missing. None of it is fancy or overthought, just the gear that works for them and makes game days a little easier. If your player is anything like ours, these are the kinds of favorites that tend to stick.

At Home Practice...

As your players get older it's a hard lesson that they can't rely on the once or twice a week practices to get better, they have to put in some work on their own. While we don't have an indoor facility at our house (I wish!!) we do have a bay in our garage that during the winter months is set up for baseball and softball practice. Here are our essentials:

• Weighted Balls - SYNGUCK Weighted Softballs Set of 6 - The set that we have now in the garage are very rubber feeling - she threw a bullpen with these at a clinic and fell in love with them!

• Throw Down Plate - great for pitchers and catchers, low price but big impact - Baseball Training Home Plate 17 Inch Colored Pitching Plate

• Nets - We have purchased this net not only for the garage but for our team as well, for the price it is perfect and we love the color choices - GoSports 7 x 7 ft Baseball & Softball Nets

• 9 Hole - this is on the wishlist for our pitcher - Pitching Net, 9 Hole Baseball & Softball Pitching Net with Strike Zone

• Pitching Mat - Softball Pitching Mat Antifade Antislip Turf Training Aid 2' X 3' - can't say it enough for young pitchers, they need the feeling of pushing off the mound to not develop bad habits

• Bounce Back - our bounce back has seen better days so this one is currently on our wishlist, it has been used probably the most in the garage during the colder months and it's great for working by yourself out in the yard too. - Baseball Rebounder Net, Portable Bounce Back Trainer for Baseball & Softball with 4 Adjustable Return Angles
