The Designated Hitter is a silhouetted batting figure that is one of the best pitching training aids available.  This pitching mannequin is used to simulate game conditions without the use of live batters. The durable polyethylene construction includes a stable base and will stand up to the hardest throwers without breaking. A strike zone marker hangs down from the Designated Hitter's elbow taking the guesswork out of the inside pitch location.
