I remember this one really good kid in high school who played 3rd base and pitched. This guy carried the team whenever he pitched like he was really something else. I remember that we had these really long practices too, and he was in it the whole time. Other kids would mess around the whole time and just come to practice to hang out, but he came to play and win and get better. So the practices were after school every day and on Saturdays for about 5 hours. I know that these drained the hell out of me every day because you got these boring classes all day then you gotta practice hard after, trust me it got rough.
This guy would practice hard all afternoon, then to get his satisfaction, he made me catch for him after practice. I mean it was kinda scary because he throws pretty hard as you could imagine, not to mention it was dark too. By this, I can really see how he really drove to get better at the game and aimed to work harder than anyone else. This is a real winner attitude and this is what got him to be the best pitcher on the team when he wasn’t playing 3rd. With all of this extra work and with the drive to beat himself every day to get better, not only did he prove to the team that he was the best pitcher, but that he knew how to work hard.
The moral of the story is that with practice you can do anything you want, including getting better than all of your competitors. While they were out going to private training, he was on his grind getting better by just practicing with repetition and dedication. Hard work beats talent whenever talent fails to work hard, and most of the time they do fail to work hard. Take advantage of that whenever you can by practicing and loving the sport. That is the awesome thing about almost every sport, if you love it and work hard to get better, it will happen.
The products that we have reviewed can definitely help you get better at the great game of baseball. There is
absolutely no BS because I know from experience that it is more fun to practice and get better than to strike out every time. I remember one season where I practiced hitting every day 2 months before it started and every game I had at least 2 line drives to the gaps in the outfield because I practiced. The next season I didn’t give any time for this and I basically had a strikeout every game. It sucked and yes it was regretted big time, but now I can tell you how important practice is.Did you know that it takes an average of 66 days to instill a habit? So if that is an average I would even say 70 days to really make sure, so if you make time to practice every day for 70 days, your offense and defense will excel beyond anything you could imagine. And after that, you can just keep getting better because practice will come naturally and won’t be a hassle. You can make a habit of going out and pitching into a net or into a cage every day, or make a habit of hitting 15 balls off a tee every day. I can actually guarantee that you will get better and even be better than all of the people that don’t practice, no matter how good you think they are. It’s really that simple.
Additionally, gear doesn’t have to be all about practice, it can be about protection. One of the biggest parts of the game of baseball and excelling at it is the mindset that you have. If you are scared up at the plate every time, most likely you will not make it to first base. On the contrary, if you are confident in your skills and you want to hit the ball, there is a great chance that you will not only hit but hit it well. Some companies and make products for this purpose, and have been helping players get over fears of getting hit by pitches and such.
One company in this niche you probably know of is called EvoShield. This company has a whole line of devices that mold to you, and protect your skin and bones from the hardest pitches, so there is nothing to worry about. There is absolutely no shame in using them too because of the wide usage of their products. I can imagine at least 60% of MLB hitters use an EvoShield when they get up to the plate. Evoshields are probably the best protective equipment since baseball gloves. Did you know that players used to not even wear gloves? Go check out my post on gloves here it’s pretty amazing how baseball has changed.
Ok if the reason you came to this website was to check out the best gear that I wrote reviews on, you are now in baseball heaven. If you did not read the first half of this page I kindly suggest you 🙂

So this might seem like a pretty obvious one but this is a really big one in the baseball world. This baseball protective
I want to share with you guys that besides EvoShield, these guys probably are at the top of the baseball equipment ladder. These guys kill all of the baseball training game and its for a reason. My story at the first half of the article about how I practiced every day of the summer and got good included a SKLZ product that I’m writing a review on. I don’t know how baseball training can get any easier but again I do say that every time they release a product. Now I’ll tell you about some of the other ones that I love.
This thing can take your accuracy to the next level no matter where you’re at in baseball. Even though this is mainly for pitchers, my buddies and I used to just use this to get our accuracy up. I always love things that are multi-purpose. With really easy set-up and design, this is really an excellent tool to have if you’re a coach or if you’re just trying to get better. I love this thing personally.
The SKLZ Zip-N-Hit is a really cool tool that you can use to get your BP in before a game. What I really love about this is that it is a partner activity so you can make your players bond and help each other out at the same time. I know that there is a lot of other ways to do this but this is for like if there’s no cage or maybe you want something new to shake things up. Another really cool thing about this is that you can throw all types of pitches without even knowing how to throw them so your players can practice all of these before a game or at practice. Remember what I said about how repetition is the best practice. See my full review here.
This is a great machine if you’re by yourself because now you can just set this baby down and have something to pitch soft toss to you. I love getting soft toss because it teaches where you should hit the ball in regards to how deep in the box. Or you can have practice with this being a station off to the side, who knows. Some of the downsides are that it doesn’t take regular baseballs, it takes its own types of balls but you can probably replace them with wiffle balls or something.
