SAN DIEGO, Calif.
For the 10th consecutive year Collegiate Baseball is rolling out its Best of Show story which showcases the most innovative new baseball products that were displayed at the recent American Baseball Coaches Association Convention in San Diego. The 64th annual convention featured 264 exhibitors, an all-time high for a west coast convention. Collegiate Baseball and I search the trade show floor for products and
services that are considered unique and useful for coaches. These awards have become quite popular with both the vendors and our readers. Perhaps this year is a
good time to review why we do this. First of all, we appreciate innovation and quality. We understand how hard it is to bring new products to the market. There is no single #1 product. They are all #1 in our eyes. As it turns out, the products selected this

Pitchers Power Drive
A unique, new tool for pitchers was a huge hit at the ABCA Convention. It is a pivoting piece of strong steel that is put in front of the pitching rubber and teaches pitchers to start their delivery from knee lift towards home plate by initiating the starting force with their back
standing leg knee, which loads their weight back.
This initiates the kinetic power chain of throwing a baseball and creates more power into landing. The back side power initiation with weight back creates more force at pitch landing by speeding the hips, torso and arm speed creating a more explosive pitch delivery. John Miller, a former college pitcher and owner of Winning Pitchers Baseball Academy, designed the Pitchers Power Drive to increase his velocity and use in training others at his academy. Pitchers have increased speed from 4-10 mph. The Pitchers Power Drive, which is built like a tank and weighs 18 pounds, costs $215.95.
