Pitching Training Device

Abstract

A pitching training device includes a connecting element and a pocket. The connecting element alternatively attached to the wrist of a throwing hand of a thrower. The pocket includes open and closed ends disposed at two opposite ends thereof. The open end of the pocket is connected with the connecting element and allowing the throwing hand and a ball gripped in the palm of the throwing hand into the pocket. The closed end of the pocket limits the thrown ball that cannot move to outside of the pocket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pitching training device comprising:
 a connecting element alternatively attached to the wrist of a throwing hand of a thrower; and   a pocket including open and closed ends disposed at two opposite ends thereof, with the open end of the pocket connected with the connecting element and allowing the throwing hand and a ball gripped in the palm of the throwing hand into the pocket, with the closed end of the pocket limiting the ball.   
     
     
         2 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element defines bottom and top surfaces arranged at two opposite ends thereof, with the bottom surface connected with the open end of the pocket. 
     
     
         3 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein inner and outer side surfaces are respectively extended between bottom and top surfaces, wherein first and second coupling portions are respectively mounted on the inner and outer side surfaces, wherein the first and second coupling portions are alternatively coupled with each other. 
     
     
         4 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the inner side surface encloses the wrist of the throwing hand, wherein the top surface faces to the thrower. 
     
     
         5 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first and second coupling portions are constructed of VELCRO. 
     
     
         6 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein an aperture is extended from the open end to a side edge of the pocket. 
     
     
         7 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a length is extended longitudinally from the open end to the closed end of the pocket to reduce the air resistance. 
     
     
         8 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pocket is made of mesh. 
     
     
         9 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the pocket is made of nylon mesh. 
     
     
         10 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the pocket is made of PVC mesh. 
     
     
         11 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is made of flexible material. 
     
     
         12 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an area of the connecting element abutted against the wrist of the throwing hand is mounted a soft foam padding to improve thrower wearing comfort. 
     
     
         13 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pocket is formed in a strip type bag. 
     
     
         14 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an aperture is extended from the open end to a side edge of the pocket, wherein a length defined from the open end to the side edge of the pocket is smaller than 2 inches. 
     
     
         15 . The pitching training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a width defined at the open end is narrower than a width defined at the closed end.
