Enter the SKLZ Pitch Training Baseball, which teaches right- and left-handed pitchers the proper finger placement with a color-coded pitching key and finger markers printed on the ball. Quickly learn or coach the proper grip for throwing 4-seam fastballs, 2-seam fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Unlike some other training baseballs, the Pitch Training Baseball is the official weight and size of game balls allowing players to train accurately and develop the muscle memory needed to master the pitches more likely to strike batters out. Recommended for youth baseball athletes, the SKLZ Pitch Training Baseball with Finger Placement Markers is the easiest way to create added confidence in players' fastballs, curveballs and sliders to help young players build the skills needed on the mound to face-off against the best hitters in their league. Review: Perfect for Budding Pitchers - Picked up the SKLZ Ball for my 12-year-old, and he can’t put it down. He’s been using it to practice throwing curveballs, sliders, and other pitches, and it’s amazing to see how quickly he’s improving. The design makes it easy for him to learn proper grip and spin, so every throw is building muscle memory. It’s super durable, too, after countless throws in the backyard and at the park, it still looks brand new. Plus, it’s lightweight and portable, so it’s easy to bring along to games or practice. If you’ve got a young pitcher looking to level up their game, this ball is an absolute game-changer. Just be ready to spend a lot more time in the yard catching pitches — trust me, it’s worth it! Review: Play Ball! - I'm a former pitcher that works in Sports Medicine. I use this ball as a conversation starter and to also (especially the younger patients) get a better understanding of their pitch grips. The ball does a good job of showing a few pitch grip examples. My only caution is the ball shows a grip example; still takes the knowledge of proper mechanics and release points to prevent injury. ## Features - Training baseball with finger placement markers for four different pitches: 4-seam fastball, 2-seam fastball, curveball and slider - Finger placement markers are printed on the ball show proper grip for each pitch - Can be used by right and left handed pitchers; markers indicate where to hold the ball - A color coded pitching key is also printed on baseball to guide training - Training baseball is an official size and weight baseball for more accurate training ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0835R3BM4 | | Age Range (Description) | Youth | | Age Range Description | Youth | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,903 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #2 in Baseball & Softball Pitching Trainers | | Brand | SKLZ | | Brand Name | SKLZ | | Color | Blue, Red, White, Yellow | | Construction Type | stitched | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,814 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038472358473 | | Included Components | Includes one baseball | | Item Diameter | 2.86 Inches | | Item Type Name | Baseball Trainer | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Implus | | Manufacturer Part Number | 235847 | | Material | Cotton | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model Number | 235847 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | One Size | | Sport | Baseball | | Sport Type | Baseball | | UPC | 038472358473 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 YEAR LIMITED MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Youth - **Brand:** SKLZ - **Color:** Blue, Red, White, Yellow - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Material:** Cotton ## Images ![SKLZ Pitch Training Baseball with Finger Placement Markers, White, 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bSgrc0lBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there an instruction manual or video to decipher the color markings?** A: Easy to follow instructions. Good training ball. **Q: Does ball come with instrucion manual?** A: No. There are images on the ball for the placement of fingers. It’s pretty cool and a great way for young pitchers to learn how to hold a ball. **Q: How does the ball come packaged? I am thinking of giving as a birthday party favor but is the ball loose or have packaging?** A: It does come in a package, and what a great party favor! **Q: Does it include instructions for how much pronation/supination should be used with each pitch?** A: As I recall, it does not. It's been over 8 months since I purchased it. But, my students love it! They throw 3 out of the four pitches, but not the curve ball. I won't allow kids under 16 to throw that pitch. Also, have looked into YouTube for further instructions? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Budding Pitchers *by K***Y on August 29, 2025* Picked up the SKLZ Ball for my 12-year-old, and he can’t put it down.
