Abstract:
A portable baseball/softball pitching target is disclosed. The portable baseball/softball pitching target has a single solitary exact target at which a baseball pitcher throws. The target can be adjusted left or right and/or in a height wise direction so that it can be moved to an exact spot allowing a pitcher to throw to an exact location. The target can be optionally moved remotely allowing the pitcher to practice pitching without having to approach the portable baseball pitching target. The target on the portable baseball pitching target can be moved using mechanical means or electrical means. The target dimensions can be adjusted to make the target smaller or larger. Other optional features include a radar that allows a pitcher to track his/her speed, a remote control device that allows the target to be moved, and a baseball/softball home plate. The portable pitching target may be a part of a kit.
