To perfect the art of fielding and pitching, one must practice long and hard. Thankfully, the pitchback was invented. A pitchback is a metal frame that holds a taut netting. When a baseball is thrown, the pitchback is supposed to reflect he ball back to the person. With lots of pitchbacks on the market, I chose Premio’s Five Position Junior Varsity Pitchback.

The product included many pros. Each of the five positions were unique from each other ranging from ground balls to line drives to fly balls. The fly ball setting did not, however, highly elevate the ball. Also, another flaw of the product is the bounce-back velocity. The reflection speed was only half of the original speed. On the other side, the quality is tough and the elastic bands are very hard to break. But if a missed pitch does hit the metal, then denting is very likely to happen. The metal frame is a dark green and the netting is black so the pitchback fits well into any environment such as the suburbs or a city alley. At $70, the pitchback is expensive but well worth it. Overall, the Premio Pitchback is Amusing.
