Softball player Zoe Bacon Shares How and Why She Uses the ProBatter

Zoe is a HitStreak alum and played at UTSA and the University of Texas.

Zoe Bacon grew up playing softball in the Denver area for HitStreak before moving on to play at UTSA and for the University of Texas Longhorns.

As an aspiring professional softball player, Zoe knows the importance of training, working on your swing and getting game reps. In this video, Zoe talks about how she uses the ProBatter for hitting training throughout the year to sharpen her game.

“When we have access to train harder, train smarter and train with an arm that throws movement, we’re going to take that every time because we don’t have that opportunity often,“ Zoe says.

HitStreak is the only facility in Colorado to have both a softball and baseball ProBatter. Our ProBatter Baseball and Softball Pitching Machines are used by players in our facility of all ages and skill levels to bring efficient, simulated game hitting reps at any time of year that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

• Baseball ProBatter can pitch at speeds from 40-100 MPH

• FastPitch Softball ProBatter can pitch at speeds between 38-70 MPH

• Video screen of live pitcher to simulate game-like reps and timing

• Throws any pitch in at any speed in any location

• Select a right-handed or left-handed pitcher

• Select one pitch in one location or mix it up with random pitches to increase difficulty and improve pitch recognition

Whether a youth player wanting to see live pitching or a high school player coming in to gear up for 90+MPH fastballs that he might see during the season, the ProBatter is the closest thing to live pitching in a safe, simulated environment!

We’re excited to share additional tips, drills and more with Zoe soon!
