You might want to purchase both to make sure that your facility is well-stocked. Either way, these will help to improve your baseball or softball skills through practice. The baseball pitching net protection is usually used by a pitcher during batting practice. Nowadays, pitching machines are preferred by many. but when a real live pitcher is used, he can use a safety net to protect him against direct hits. Usually, these live pitchers might be closer to the batter than during a real game. Furthermore, the pitcher is not likely to try to "trick" the batter with a myriad of curve balls, sliders, sinkers or change-ups. The goal is to give the hitter a "fat" pitch that he can hit a long ways. Therefore, the batter's hits are likely to be more powerful. A safety pitching net can protect the batting practice pitcher from any straight line hits. This safety net is a great idea. Usually, the safety net will have an open "L" section for the pitching delivery. Then, after the pitch, the player will hide behind the other closed net section. Any straight line hits will strike the net, not the batting practice pitcher.
