The DOM Transformer: A serious tool for serious softball and baseball teams

The DOM Transformer: A Serious Tool for Serious Softball & Baseball Teams

If you take your softball or baseball seriously, you need to protect your equipment. One of the quickest ways to wear out softball and baseball bats, gloves and other items is to take poor care of them. The dugout is often the place where equipment is neglected. By leaving gloves or bats lying around, you allow them to be stepped on, tripped over or kicked around by teammates. There is nothing worse than paying $100, $200 or more on gloves just to have them wear out due to poor care in the dugout.

The DOM Transformer , can take care of your softball and baseball equipment. The DOM Transformer is an amazing item that keeps a player’s bats, glove, batting gloves, water bottle and more from being on a dugout floor or cast aside on the bench.

DOM Transformer – How does it work?

The DOM Transformer simply hangs from a chain link fence and holds a number of important pieces of softball and baseball equipment. The DOM Transformer takes up minimal space, and it creates even more room for players, coaches and staff to have in the dugout. What does it hold? The DOM Transformer easily holds two bats, a glove, batting gloves, a drink bottle, towel, sunglass and more.

The DOM transformer is small and lightweight. It can fit into a player’s travel bag or coaches can use them for the entire team. Once the DOM Transformer has been attached to the fence, a player or team’s equipment can easily be placed on it.

DOM Transformer – Why do you need it?

Any softball or baseball player that takes the sport seriously needs a DOM Transformer. Traveling teams can use the DOM Transformer as a way to quickly organize their equipment. There is nothing worse than traveling city to city playing softball or baseball and struggling to find equipment once you are in the dugout. The DOM Transformer allows two bats to be hung from it. This means that an entire team can hang their bats by using two or three DOM Transformers. Each DOM has three hooks that can easily hold players’ gloves, batting gloves, towels and more. In addition, there is a water bottle holder.

The simplicity of the DOM Transformer means the clutter of a dugout is a thing of the past. It also means players will have little difficulty in getting the softball and baseball gear they need when they need it. There is no wasted time in the dugout. Bats and gloves will no longer be damaged, and players can remain safe when not on the field.

DOM Transformer – Advantage for teams

No matter if you play for a big softball or baseball team that travels the country; or a small team that plays locally on the weekends, the DOM Transformer can make life easier. Traveling teams can use the DOM Transformer to hold important, expensive equipment. It also allows players to keep track of their bats, gloves and other items. The two-bat holder keeps the dugout free from possible accidents. Players and coaches can slip or trip on a bat and become injured. The DOM Transformer’s two-bat holder keeps them off the ground and free from damage.

Local teams which play a limited number of games can also benefit from the DOM Transformer. Not only will it safely organize a dugout, but the DOM Transformer may be able to hold an entire team’s equipment. Small teams with a limited number of bats could use the DOM Transformer’s two-bat holder to safely stow away all their gear.

The DOM Transformer is a piece of equipment that shouldn’t be left out of the dugout. It keeps a player’s softball and baseball equipment tidy, clean and in full working order. It also keeps a dugout safe and clean. Any day that ends in ‘y’ is a perfect day to play softball or baseball when the DOM Transformer is in the dugout.

Why should Softball Players always Wear a Face Mask?

Softball is not the soft fluffy sport many feel it is. In high school fastpitch softball the pitcher is a mere 40 feet away from home plate. That is 20 feet closer than in men’s baseball, and those pitchers are hurling the softball at speeds up to 77 miles per hour, according to experts.

There is only a reaction time of four tenths of a second in fastpitch softball. If a pitcher is throwing the ball between 50 and 70 miles an hour, the batted ball is traveling back at double the pitched speed.

Batters should protect themselves

Due to the close proximity and the speed in which pitchers are throwing the ball, it is important that batters wear a face mask. Just like a catcher, a batter is putting their body in the firing line, and an errant pitch, missed catch or foul ball could strike the batter in the face. But today, there is a growing need for fielders to use face masks.

What about the fielders?

No longer are face masks frowned upon by fielders as a line drive back at the pitcher could spell the end of their softball career. More and more fielders are donning face masks in softball as the chances of taking a batted ball in the face is too great.

For the most part, corner infielders and pitchers are at the greatest risk of being hit in the face. A hard hit ground ball or line drive at a third or first base position player could injure the player for life. However, injury is not the only thing or the worst thing that can happen. Players who have been hit with line drives have been killed over the years.

Softball injuries

According to a Forbes article, softball has a high rate head and neck injuries. One reason the sport has such a high number of batted ball injuries is down to the dimensions of the field. The size makes it difficult to move out of the way of a hard hit ball.

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association attempted to amend the national rules for players playing first, third or pitching to wear face masks. The group’s attempt to stop injuries to the face, and possible death, was rebuffed by some in the game. More and more groups are now allowing masks to be worn, although few associations and leagues make it compulsory.

Face mask saves life

In June 2016, a California teenager was playing third base when a line drive struck her in the face. Luckily, she was wearing a face mask and there was no damage. The teen’s mother told local news that she believed her daughter would have died if she hadn’t been wearing the protective piece.

The number of injuries due to batted balls in fast pitch softball seem to be growing by the year. It is a sport that can be dangerous for players if the right precautions aren’t taken. Luckily, some coaches, players and schools are seeing the light and why face masks are important in softball.
