About This Product

Target Pad® Pitching Target

Improve Pitching Command and Accuracy

Improve pitching command and accuracy with the re-imagined Target Pad® pitching target. Movable targets and dividing bars create custom drills for precise pitch execution and effective velocity development. Ideal for solo or coached practice, this catcherless training target gives pitchers and coaches a portable visual target for bullpen work, command drills, and pitch-location practice. The heavy-duty vinyl training target mounts to compatible baseball or softball screens and netting with adjustable straps, while its foam core absorbs ball impact and provides audible feedback at contact.

  • Improve Pitching Command — Develop pinpoint accuracy and control with a repeatable visual reference.
  • Customizable Training — Movable targets and dividing bars let you build location-specific strike-zone drills.
  • Catcherless Practice — Train anytime, anywhere, without needing a catcher.
  • Effective Velocity Training — Enhance pitch effectiveness and deception with targeted location work.
  • Durable and Portable — Heavy-duty vinyl construction mounts and transports easily.
  • Solo and Coached Drills — Perfect for independent practice or guided instruction.

What Is It?

The Target Pad® pitching target is a 34-inch-high by 17-inch-wide, foam-core training target covered in heavy-duty vinyl. Developed with insights from pitching coach Ron Wolforth, this updated design focuses on precision and targeted practice within the strike zone. It attaches to compatible baseball or softball screens, backstops, or netting with adjustable straps. Bright movable targets and dividing bars create a configurable strike zone for targeted throwing practice.

  • Built for: Baseball and softball pitchers, coaches, private facilities, and team programs.
  • Best used: Bullpens, pitch-location work, command drills, and catcherless practice sessions.
  • Pairs with: TAP® Max-Grip Weighted Balls, TAP® Baseball Training Sock, and Pitching Pad® training tools.

How It Works

Create a visible strike-zone reference for each throw.

Set the Zone

Attach the training target to compatible netting and adjust its height to create a clear visual strike-zone reference.

Arrange the Targets

Move the colored target pieces and dividing bars to emphasize a zone, edge, height, or pitch-location objective.

Read the Result

Use visible target contact and the foam core's impact sound as immediate reference points during a throwing session.

Trusted Across the Game

Oates Specialties tools are trusted across all 30 MLB organizations and by 1,000+ high school and college programs. We first began carrying the Target Pad® pitching target in 2011, and it continues that standard today — making pitch-location practice more visible and repeatable. Rather than using a fixed target, athletes and coaches can reposition the hook-and-loop targets and dividers to build a session around the locations they want to practice — for solo bullpens, coached lessons, and team throwing environments without requiring a catcher.
