Softball pitchers face a compounding safety challenge: the pitching distance in fastpitch softball is 43 feet at the collegiate level, and batted ball exit velocities are substantial enough to cause serious injury. The combination of shorter distance and high exit velocity gives the pitcher less than half a second to react to a batted ball. A softball pitchers screen is essential equipment for any program running live batting practice at the high school or college level. The galvanized steel frame and #36 polyethylene netting handle sustained practice volume and ball speeds without degrading over time.

Also available: the C-shaped softball pitchers protector screen for pitchers who need three-sided protection during their windmill delivery. Browse the full baseball and softball screens collection for additional field protection options.
