Increase Your Value at the Plate with Rawlings Tools for Hitting for Average

A ball player who hits for average is a valuable asset to any team, consistently putting the ball in play, getting on base and moving runners around to score.

Rawlings has partnered with Ripken Baseball to produce a line of tools for its 5-Tool Training Program that will help you or your Little Leaguer improve batting average.

Every 5-Tool Training product includes drills and instructions to help you improve your baseball or softball performance. Popular tools to improve your hitting for average are:

• Hitting tees: Rawlings 5-Tool hitting tees are durable, stable and easy to use. To purchase your tee, look for style numbers PROTEE and TRAVLTEE.
• Training balls: Training balls can be purchased for use in pitching machines, during soft toss or with a tee. Rawlings’ Hitter’s Eye Trainer Baseballs are the official training baseballs of Major League Baseball and allow hitters to safely work on hitting a variety of pitches during batting practice. They can be purchased using style number 5THITATP. Other training balls can be found under style numbers 5TROTBPM, 5TROPT5PK12, 5TROT9PK6, ROTBHT3PK6 and ROTBCT3PK6.
• Training bats: Rawlings hand-eye bat has the same length as your game bat, but it uses a 1” barrel to improve your hand-eye coordination. It is sold under style number HANDIBAT. Rawlings one-hand wood training bat helps you break down your swing while practicing one-hand drills. It is sold under purchase number ONEHANDBAT.
• Hitting net: This pop-up net is 7' x 7' and assembles in an instant. The net features a large catching target with an extra deep net that helps prevent balls from bouncing out. Look for it under style number POPNET.
