ABSTRACT:
A baseball training device that is worn upon a fielder's glove hand for aiding the wearer in developing proper fielding skills. The device has a thick triangular shaped pad that encompasses the entire hand. Webbing on the back surface of the pad encircles the thumb and first three fingers of the glove hand to position the apex of the pad over the wearer's wrist and the base leg of the pad extended beyond the wearer's fingertips. The pad is comprised of a resilient material that will deform upon being struck by a ball over the heel region of the hand to provide the ball sufficient residency time on the pad to enable the wearer to bring his or her or other hand over the ball and thus complete the catch. Balls striking the pad in other areas are provided little or no residency time and are thus more difficult to field.
