The Ultiamte Pitcher's and Catcher's Plate is a great training item for the team.  The orange edges are 5" wide on the top and 7" wide on the bottom front of the plate and are a visual target for the pitcher. The 5" orange edges and white part of the plate cover 2.5" of a traditional home plate and 2.5" off of a traditional home plate. Point to point of the white part of the plate measures 17"- the size of a regulation home plate. The back part of the plate helps position the catcher. The catcher centers his or her body on the point of the white part of the plate, giving the pitcher the ultimate target to throw to on either corner of the plate. This training tool is also perfect for fastpitch players. Scuff and stain resistant, high gloss finish with anti-static properties to repel attraction of airborne particles. May be used as a throw down plate or staked down for permanent placement. Instructions to stake down the plate are included. Stakes not included.
