How baseball coaches can run a better "pitcher's fielding practice"

I don't pike too many baseball products on my blog because many aren't worth their salt on the field. But this product is different. And now that I'm a coach and a fungo-hitting machine :-) I find it to be very useful.

I'm talking about the Fango. It's a a rubber gizmo that fits on the end of your fungo to pick up loose baseballs. When a ball is on the ground near you, just push the Fango down over it, and pick the ball right up. No bending over. Not bad.

I particularly enjoyed it while hitting PFPs to the 13-year-old pitchers I was working with this season. Too bad this thing wasn't around during my college days, when, as a starting pitcher, I had fungo duty like it was my second job. Still can't hit pop-ups on home plate to the catcher, though.
