ABSTRACT:
A general purpose baseball shoe sole with significant advantages for a baseball pitcher, whether he be in Little League or the professional ranks. The sole can be molded from a resilient material with tread members creating a longitudinal vallecular area or cleatless with an unobstructed channel in the sole. The longitudinal channel or vallecular area promote the unique anchoring characteristic of the sole. A means for the pitcher to obtain a stable foothold atop the pitching rubber, enabling him to thrust against the top front of the pitching rubber with his foot while pitching towards home plate. When utilizing the disclosure properly the pitcher can be relieved of endeavoring to furrow a hole in the dirt to the front of the pitching rubber in which to set his foot, and then bracing his foot against the pitching rubber. Instead, the top front edge of the pitching rubber fits into the groove in the sole of the shoe. When used in conjunction with the pitching rubber the pitcher will experience a greater degree of accuracy, leverage, consistency, angle height, ease and uniformity of the pitch. Much of the stress that occurs in the arm and ankle of the Little Leaguer when using the regulation pitching rubber can be alleviated by wearing this shoe.
