Collegiate C-Shaped Softball Pitchers Protector Screen

Description

This c-shaped softball pitchers screen wraps around the pitcher’s position in the circle, providing three-sided protection that accommodates the windmill pitching motion used in fastpitch softball. Unlike a flat-panel screen, this c-shaped softball pitchers screen covers the front and both sides of the delivery zone so the pitcher’s arm can move through its full arc without extending past the edge of the netting.

Specifications:

• C-shaped frame designed for the fastpitch softball windmill delivery
• Three-sided protection — front panel and both side panels
• Collegiate-grade steel frame construction
• Heavy-duty knotted netting rated for hard-hit softball impacts
• Includes frame and net
• Portable — repositions between drill stations
• Weight: 52 lbs
• Ships via truck freight

During the windmill delivery, the pitcher’s body rotates and the throwing arm extends well outside the footprint of a flat screen. A flat panel wide enough to protect a pitcher in the set position may not cover them at full extension during the delivery. The c-shaped design curves around the pitcher so the arm can travel through its full arc while netting on the front and both sides blocks batted balls from a wide range of angles. At 43 feet (college pitching distance), batted balls reach the circle in under half a second, making reliable screen protection a safety necessity during live batting practice at the high school and college levels.

For programs that do not need three-sided coverage, the flat-panel softball pitchers screen is a lighter, more compact option. Browse the full baseball and softball screens collection for additional protective equipment.
