Ken Knutson
- Head Baseball Coach, University of Washington "The
overall effectiveness of the Leather Pitching Target has exceeded my
expectations. It is an exceptional product with impressive
durability and best of all, it makes our program better. My
guys love the quality and sound of your target."
Bill Krueger
- Fox Sports Northwest baseball analyst and former MLB pitcher "My
experience with the target has been outstanding. It has
created a very practical way for all of my pitching students to learn and improve their
fastball control. They love the competitive aspects of it also, and
it levels the competitive playing field between those that throw
hard and those that don’t. I think it is a fantastic teaching tool,
and would highly recommend it to any aspiring pitcher. I also think
that every Little League team should have one to help develop
pitching."
Dave Jorn
- Pitching Coach, University of Arkansas "We
recently started using the Leather
Pitching Target
and our pitchers are having a lot of fun with it. In our
program, we put a lot of emphasis on location and the Leather
Pitching Target allows our pitchers to work on command every day.
Often times between classes, when catcher's are unavailable, they
can get some good work in. I like the fact that they can get a
lot of extra work in on their own. They repeat their
deliveries and work on a consistent release point. I see this
product as a valuable tool for improving pitching." Troy Cate - Minor
league pitcher "I
used to throw into a net, but this off-season I am upgrading my
pitching workouts by using the Leather Pitching Target. It
helps me fine-tune my command and get ready for spring
training. I'm impressed with the authentic sound and I get
immediate feedback on the location and quality of every pitch.
Finally, a pitching target good enough for professional pitchers!"
Tim Kuykendall -
Head Baseball Coach, Auburn High School, Auburn, WA. "I
love it! The Leather Pitching Target has been a great
tool for our High School program and our indoor training facility.
I have used it with players ranging from 7 years old to adult
baseball league. I use it for a lot of reasons such as its
durability, visual feedback, and its easy access and transporting.
However, the number one reason is its emphasis on developing
fastball command. We constantly preach the importance of
location and the ability to move the ball up and down, in and out.
The Leather Pitching Target has helped us develop a system where our
pitchers can work on command in the zone. Plus, it's fun for
our staff to have competitions with the different skill tests.
We purchased another one this year so we can maximize our practice
efficiency by having two stations going at once."
Ray Swanson -
Pitching Instructor, Performer's Competitive Edge, Rigby, ID.
"The
Leather Pitching Target is an innovative breakthrough in training
pitchers. It is better than any other target or screen I have ever
used. My pitching students have a great time working on control and
small adjustments. The impact sound is authentic and the
impression gives immediate feedback on the quality of every pitch.
It is something that should be used by every team and every serious
pitcher. It is perfect for between start bullpens and short distance
work. The drills, games, and competitions are addicting and they
make working on control and sequencing a lot of fun. I have players
from age 9 through professional pitchers, and all agree that it is
awesome.
Having coached 10 years at the
Junior College level, I can honestly say I wish I had this product
years ago. It would have changed the way practice was run with our
pitchers."
Rusty Trudeau -
Baseball/Softball National Sales Manager, Baden Sports"The
Leather Pitching Target stands alone as the highest quality pitching
target available. With Online Ranking, they have separated
themselves even further from the competition. I'm a firm
believer in the product and the company that stands behind it."
Ted
Buffington - Performance Enhancement Researcher & Consultant
"Mike has always had the vision of a product
that would integrate the two key components of learning, 1.) the
ability to calibrate performance and 2.) the ability to get
immediate & accurate feedback. Success can happen by accident
but achievement is purely by design and that is quite evident with
his ‘Leather Pitching Target.’ After several years of
research, Mike has come up with the best ‘Self-Directed
Training’ product that I have ever seen. I have spent my
entire life devoted to understanding and creating high performance
skills. I applaud Mike Swanson’s manifestation of a long
time vision. He has definitely earned the recognition of an
Achievement By Design champion. If you are serious about
taking your game to the next level, take advantage of all that the
LPT has to offer."
B.A. Garner,
Tacoma Community College, Tacoma, WA.
"The target has greatly
assisted me in workouts by providing an accurate, realistic and easy
to use tool to improve my performance on the mound. I'm
ready for the next level in large part because of it. I’ve
learned the importance of getting into pitcher advantage counts and
then hitting pitcher advantage locations.
I started out with the 7-11 skill test at a distance of 30’ and I am now all
the way back to 40’, consistently hitting my spots.
Just think how good I will be when I am commanding my pitches
at 50’, then 60’. This
new target is simply fantastic!
I’ve never had so much fun getting good."
Kyle Krzyznieski -
Thomas Jefferson High School, Federal Way, WA.
"I
think your pitching target is great. It is perfect for practicing
location and accuracy with all pitches. I liked being able to
practice alone, without a catcher. Usually when you practice
baseball you have to have somebody to play with. With this target I
could practice by myself on my own time. It also helped my
mental side of pitching. It is hard to explain, but with the
Leather Pitching Target, I could practice my mental thoughts while
pitching. I learned that when I bore down, relaxed, and really
focused, I usually hit my spot. I definitely think this was a
big reason for my success last season."
