HERMAN BASEBALL & SOFTBALL

Herman can work alone or with coaches to train baseball and softball players in many ways for all skill levels. Herman's objective power and speed measurements and immediate feedback create an atmosphere of fun competition and focused concentration.

For all players, when a sensor is attached to a tarp, net, freestanding bag, or a focus pad attached to a stand , Herman measures the power and accuracy of pitches, throws, and hits. Best Shot , scores reflect the power and accuracy of a single attempt. With Speed Shot , reaction time and bat speed are also important in earning a good score.

More serious players can follow the hitting, pitching, and hitting drills Herman includes for a thorough training session. A sensor can be attached to a hand held focus pad to provide immediate feedback on proper throwing and pitching form, to the foot to measure pitching and hitting strides, to different areas of a target for accuracy drills, and to gloves for live action measurements.

Other Herman options, including multiple sensors, wireless sensors, graphic plotting, and batting cage set-ups are designed for coaches and the most sophisticated players.

For hitting, the player is prompted by Herman to hit either soft toss or off a tee into a catch net or tarp. The sensor(s) attached to the back of the target records the power of the impact. Herman provides immediate feedback to the player at the end of each drill comparing the total power score against the player's last or best session.

For pitching and throwing, Herman prompts the player through drills with pre-determined number of pitches or throws. The score for each pitch or throw is higher the more powerful the impact and the closer the impact is to the sensor. Herman records the number of pitches, the strongest pitch,, the average strength of each pitch, and the total score for each drill. This process can be repeated for different types of pitches.

For players of all ages and all skill levels, Herman provides a valuable training partner and coach with his simple to complex drills, and immediate, objective feedback. Players can compete against themselves as well as others and have a whole lot of fun in the process.
