Shadow Zone™ / Pitching location training
Own the edge.
Give every bullpen pitch a clear visual goal. Shadow Zone™ gives pitchers and catchers a visible target for the corners and the upper, lower, inside and outside edges of the strike zone. Two adjustable string zones frame a practice area along the boundary, so a session can focus on a specific location instead of a vague call to “throw strikes.”
Two visible target zonesAdjustable height + widthBullpen + facility practice
See two zones.
Give the pitcher and catcher a shared reference for discussing an edge pitch versus one just off it.
Adjust the target.
Set the string zones’ height and width to suit the pitcher, practice situation and location you want to work.
A target for the pitch—not just a place to throw.
A catcher’s glove gives you an aiming point. Shadow Zone™ adds a visible boundary around it. Use that reference to make the conversation after each pitch specific: inside edge, below the zone, above the target or on the intended corner.
Turn a bullpen into focused location work.
Pick a location. Choose one corner or edge and set the two zones for your session.
Throw a short set. Work within the pitcher’s planned throwing workload and observe where each pitch passes through the target.
Record and repeat. Note the location of each pitch, then repeat the set or move to another edge. This is a coach-observed drill—not automatic pitch tracking.

Questions before your next bullpen?
What is Shadow Zone™ used for?
It is a pitching target for location drills. The two string zones provide visual references for working corners and the upper, lower, inside and outside strike-zone edges.
Why are there two string zones?
The nested zones frame a practice border rather than presenting only one rectangle. Use them to compare an intended edge pitch with a pitch just beyond that location.
Can I adjust the strike-zone target?
Yes. The string zones can be adjusted in height and width to suit the pitcher and the session. Set the zones before throwing and follow the manufacturer’s setup instructions.
Does it tell me whether a pitch is a strike?
No. Shadow Zone™ is a visual training aid, not an umpire or electronic strike-calling system. The official strike zone is determined for each batter during a game; the training border is an approximation, not a called strike.
Does it catch the baseball?
No. The open string zones are not a catching net or protective screen. Use a catcher or an appropriate separate backstop and maintain a clear throwing area.
Is a catcher, backstop or electronic system included?
This listing includes two upright poles and two string strike zones. Catchers, backstops, baseballs and other equipment shown in training scenes are not included.
Use what the MLB uses. Complete system setup with all stings, poles, heavy duty bases included.
Give your next bullpen a purpose: pick an edge, see the target and make each repetition count.
