Abstract

A baseball glove training device used to train players to catch a thrown or hit ball with both hands uses a semi-cylindrical solid piece attached to the back portion of the glove so as to prevent the player from closing the glove on the ball. Rather, the player has to catch the ball between the glove and the throwing hand.
