When it comes to baseball training, one of the best ways to perfect your skills is with lots of practice. After all, practice makes perfect.
While there are only so many hours each week you can spend on the field (especially if you live in a region with cold winter temperatures like New England), now you can improve your timing and pitch recognition right from the comfort of your own home thanks to WIN Reality.
Whether you are a baseball parent, a Little League coach, or someone just looking to have some fun and get a little exercise, this might be the most exciting way to brush up on your baseball skills.
The virtual reality training platform was actually created by professional athletes to help players take their skills to new levels. What makes it so exciting and fun is that you can train against pitchers of all levels and compete with other players while also learning tips on how to improve your overall game.
After downloading the WIN mobile app, you will have access to Live Pitch and in-app statistics and reports, allowing you to train and stay up to speed on progress.
This reality game is more than just a headset – it comes with a short bat to take swings with the controller in the bat (make sure the button on the side of the controller is pushed down fully) along with a bat attachment to get a firsthand feeling of being on the field and experiencing an energetic round of batting practice.
We do warn you that the game is not only fun and addicting, but the realistic hitting experience may even have you thinking you’re the next Big Papi.
Designed for baseball or softball training, the virtual program allows users to choose a sport and enter their age group for an even more realistic playing experience. A video of a person pitching the ball to you kicks off the excitement. Simply swing the bat as the ball comes your way and the WIN Reality headset will do the rest for you, calculating your speed and accuracy.
WIN Reality uses actual pitch data and pitcher videos to provide a challenging and realistic playing experience and pitch simulation. The training program used at colleges and universities throughout the country even trains you to become a clutch player by putting you in stressful situations to see how you handle them.
It also provides the opportunity to practice with pitchers of different velocities and styles so you can improve your timing and pitch recognition.
Competing with other players is one of the most fun aspects of the game. You can sign up multiple player profiles to allow teammates, friends, siblings, and parents to train together and monitor your progress.
When you are just starting out, you can sign up to play with other beginners of the same skill level and advance as your skills progress. As your skills improve, you can split up into teams and compete to get the most hits.
Once you become used to WIN Reality, you can then select pitchers with a specific speed and style you prefer.
The best part about the virtual reality headset is that you can use it from the convenience of your own home, take it with you while you are traveling, and allows you the opportunity to enjoy the sport of baseball or softball during the off-season.
