Unsurpassed Versatility and Realism

Any hitter who has faced big league stuff, recognizes early on, that the BP you get before the game is nothing like what you will face when its time to cross the line. In batting practice, most hitters work on their timing, they are getting loose; maybe working on hitting the ball the other way, keeping the hands inside, or creating a good downward path, but ultimately, a big league hitter relies primarily on the instincts he’s built over years and years of game at bats. Sure you develop hand eye coordination, barrel awareness, strength, and bat speed by just swinging the bat, but what separates the great ones from the average hitters is the ability to react to the curveball or changeup without getting beat by the fastball.

For the Coach:

The RPM Gamer is the ultimate training tool – The Gamer is programmed through a palm pilot which enables the coach to set a hitting routine or a series of pitches that will be specific to the needs of his hitters. One of the hitters may be having trouble hitting the good fastball, while another may be having difficulty staying back on the breaking ball. In either case, the Gamer can be programmed to ensure that a hitter builds confidence at a basic level before moving on to facing more velocity and more variables. The Advanced control software with blue tooth connection allows the coach the freedom to instruct from any part of the field or cage.

For the Hitter:

At Bat’s not Batting Practice – The Gamer gives the hitter the opportunity to practice under realistic conditions, where he can face three big league pitches (fastball, curveball, changeup), at any time, and any speed. Traditional machines have been good at providing batting practice (one pitch, at one speed, and on one plane), but the Gamer gives you the at bats you need to be a real hitter in game situations. The Gamer can switch from the fastball to a curve ball to a change up in real time. Most importantly, the hitter does not know what’s coming and he is forced to react to spin, trajectory, and location. Reacting to three different pitches develops the instincts it takes to be a big league hitter.

Don’t be a 5 o’clock hitter, use the Gamer.
