The Junior Home Run Trainer is designed for ages 5–7.
What is the Home Run Trainer?
This unique device is a training aid designed to help hitters improve bat speed, power, and a fluid swing. It provides repetitive-based training that builds strength through the swing path. Players of all levels use it to develop more explosive, game-ready power.
Why the Home Run Trainer Works
The trainer works by allowing players to take more quality swings at a moving ball in less time than traditional training methods, making better contact and building confidence with each hit.Through its simple design, the 360-degree rotation of the ball after contact allows hitters to repeatedly attack the plate, developing real game-ready skills and timing with each repetition. This dramatically increases total swing repetitions and consistent contact during each practice session. The more quality reps a hitter takes, the faster they improve. More reps lead to better swings, better timing, and better results.
Who the Home Run Trainer is For
The batting trainer comes in two versions designed for players ranging from ages 5 through collegiate levels. It is ideal for beginners learning to hit a moving ball, as well as players who want to get a high volume of quality batting reps at home. The trainer allows players to practice without the need for batting tees, nets, or additional equipment.
How to Use this Practice Device
The trainer is easy to set up and can be used in backyards, driveways, practice fields, or indoor facilities with at least 18–20 feet of vertical clearance. Players simply adjust the ball height and begin swinging so the ball travels in a smooth 360-degree vertical arc. As skill improves, hitters can increase speed and consistency for more advanced training.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Home Run Trainer

Yes. The Junior Home Run trainer (HRJ2000) is designed for safe use by young hitters (youth players from beginners to around age 7) when set up correctly and used with appropriate supervision. It allows beginning hitters to train with a moving ball without live pitching, reducing risk while improving skill development. The HRT3000 (advanced version) is designed for ages generally 8+ or who already have more advanced swings.
Can the trainer be used for baseball and softball?
Yes. The training device can be used for both baseball and softball players, making it a versatile training tool for multi-sport households. It is perfect for young hitters or more experienced ones. Just a few sessions a week can lead to noticeable improvement in timing and consistency.
How much space is needed to use the trainer?
The trainer requires approximately 18–20 feet of vertical clearance. The Home Run Trainer is easy to set up and is portable enough for use in backyards, batting cage environments, driveways, practice fields, or gyms.

Both models are designed to build confidence, increase serious reps, and support consistent training that helps batters develop real game-ready skills.
How often should players train with the Home Run Trainer?
Most players see improvement by training 20–30 minutes per session, several times per week. Consistent short sessions are more effective than long, infrequent workouts.

Regular training both versions promote consistent contact by training hitters to track and time a moving ball (we use a baseball size plastic ball), leading to improved swings and set up for better game performance at the plate.
