The TAP® Command Plate is an essential pitcher training tool designed for indoor practice, focusing on enhancing pitch control and location accuracy. Its low-profile construction and vibrant, high-visibility colors provide clear focal points, enabling pitchers to refine their targeting and improve their understanding of the strike zone. Measuring 23" x 17", this training aid extends the standard plate by 6", emphasizing the importance of utilizing the edges of the strike zone and reinforcing that any part of the ball touching the edge is a strike. The inclusion of the Dan Quisenberry quote, "The middle of the plate is where offensive history is written," serves as a constant reminder to pitchers to avoid the heart of the plate. Coaches will find the TAP® Command Plate invaluable for visual instruction, facilitating clear communication about pitch location between pitcher, catcher, and coach. Its portable, throw-down design ensures convenience, while catchers will appreciate the reduced 'bad bounces' resulting from the plate's smooth, low profile. Elevate your indoor pitching practice with the TAP® Command Plate and develop the precision needed for game-day success.
