Description
Better baseball and fastpitch softball pitching starts from the ground up. The Stride Right pitching mat can be used as a baseball and fastpitch softball training aid. It helps players and coaches identify areas in the setup, stance and pitching stride to be adjusted and improved efficiently. Once you’ve found success in your foundational footwork, the patented grid training system helps players repeatedly practice effective throwing movements. Our softball / baseball pitch training mats provide instant visual feedback allowing easy instruction for baseball and fast-pitch softball.
The Advanced Pitcher pitching training mat is 4 feet by 10 feet and comes complete with a regulation pitching rubber. The grid system runs all the way down the mat acting as a power-line and a pitching stride distance trainer. It is made out of tough Nylon fiber and has a durable rubber backing, similar to traditional turf pitching mats but with a softer feel to help with endurance, prevent stress injury, and maintain safe practice sessions. We recommend only throwing in turf shoes, not baseball / softball cleats or spikes.
The pitching lanes line up to pair well with our Advanced & Elite Hitting Mats acting as a throwing target for pitchers.
For beginning players, this mat is perfect for understanding the importance of a consistent stance and stride length. It can then help challenge pitchers to increase their vertical stride distance.
For more experienced players, our mats can be used as a way to benchmark their performance and evaluate the successes of adjustments, leading to more targeted training to improve speed and control on throws.
The inability to develop fundamental skills is the primary reason kids leave the game. At Stride Right Mats, our goal is to create valuable baseball and softball training aids allowing players to learn and improve their skills giving them greater success and enjoyment of the sport, keeping them in the game longer.
We are constantly evaluating and improving our baseball and softball training equipment. We value the input of players, coaches, and parents as we are working to create more options for pitching nets, pitching targets and pitching mounds. We stand by our products and our mission is to create and deliver innovative equipment that helps players grow their ability and love for the games of baseball and softball.

The pitching rubber is the perfect thickness and secured well. The markings make it very easy to measure your stride, make adjustments, and accurately track your progress. The mat itself is thick enough to stay in place, and light enough to be manageable. We couldn’t be happier, can’t think of a thing to change. Company customer service was excellent!

Got this for my daughter because I liked the layout of the grid. Works great for her to target a spot and be consistent every time. She likes it.
Downside was that it took 1 month for delivery from my order date. Also it has started to “shed” right away. I hope it holds up long term…

I am very much impressed with the quality of new mats. Thank you for standing by your products and correcting issues with original mat by replacing the first product with a better quality product.
Much appreciated!

We initially purchased the hitting mat for our high school softball team and immediately began to see the improvements in our hitters staying on the ball all the way through the swing. So when the pitching mat became available we ordered one and immediately our pitchers control and stride improved. Since then we have purchased another mat for our summer club team and are using both mats at our training center for our hitting and pitching lessons. This is a great product for teaching players how to hit and pitch the right way.

Holding up great even after heavy use & the anti slip hasn’t … We have used this mat on flat ground work for a couple months. Holding up great even after heavy use & the anti slip hasn’t worn. I strongly recommend

Super pleased, this has worked exceptionally for our daughter. We really like it because it has the measurements on it so she can see how far out she is striding. With the carrying harness it made it very easy to pack around. Her pitching coach is a D1 pitcher and she was highly impressed with it. We would highly recommend this.

Excellent product! I use this mat with my team of 10-11 year olds. Promotes consistent stride length and keeps stride foot in line with the target. Rolls up easily for storage. I’ll likely be using this for years to come.

This company went out of their way to make things right! I ordered this to help our girls pitch indoors during the winter months. We had a problem with a wear holr with in just a few weeks…….I wrote the company and they sent us a new and improved mat! The girls love it and it is way more durable! It does slip a little on the hard wood floor but not bad! This is the mat we will be continuing to purchase for our program!

I have an older version (green, white, red) and it is fantastic. I use this for my private pitching students. Super visual feedback. See stride length and direction on every pitch. Money well spent, and it is holding up well.

Quality is what’s missing in America. This is an exception to that at my hitting area in my academy.

My daughter loves her Stride Right mat. It’s very helpful for her to see the length of her landing zone to ensure her pushout is strong and consistent. Great training tool!! Highly recommended!

We bought this for my 14 year old daughter to use during indoor winter practices with her travel team and absolutely love it. It’s stores nicely under her bed and is very easy to transport. It comes with a strap that goes around it at both ends and you just carry over your shoulder. The back of the mat is rubber which prevents the mat from slipping around the floor. We’ve used it outdoors a couple times in our driveway and worked great there as well. It was used by other pitchers on her team as well and has proven to be extremely durable. I expect this mat to last for many years! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a pitching mat.
