How is the Sling Pitcher used for Catcher training, as referenced in the video?
The Sling Pitcher allows the operator to position every pitch, including balls in the dirt. For younger catchers, or those still intimidated by the ball, plastic or foam balls allow young players to get the technique down, and learn to trust their equipment, before moving up to regulation balls. The Sling Pitcher can also throw effective pop-ups for catcher or infield practice.
