ACCUpitch TrainerÔ Designed
to help players improve their pitching skills and ball control. This baseball practice
device electronically senses the precise location on a thrown pitch and then audibly calls
out whether it is a strike or a ball. A series of electronic sensors built into the 55
inch high by 43 inch wide backstop detect the location of each pitch and determine whether
it is within the strike zone. A horn speaker attached to a shock-resistant control unit
instantly announces whether the pitch is a "strike" or a "ball". The
control unit’s built-in electronic circuitry also keeps a running count of the
pitches and calls the imaginary batter out after three strikes or to take a walk after
four balls. It also announces "play ball", "batter up" and "next
batter". Operates on one 9 volt battery. About $190.
