Add an aspiring player to the unofficial Padres line-up with a personalized practice jersey . . . and look to rookie second baseman Matt Antonelli for some defensive pointers this season.

Nike: Keystone 1000 Baseball Glove
First to recommend
Description
You cannot be a catcher without a glove, but the glove alone doesn't a catcher make. Just ask Cole Armstrong, rookie catcher with the Chicago White Sox, how many wild pitches (and/or pitchers) he has corralled thus far in his career.

Modell's: Pop-Up Pitcher Target To Go by Franklin

Some pitchers are born, but they all have to practice. This season we will get to see if all that practice will pay off for aspiring Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jake Arrieta. Give 'em heat, Jake !

Modell's: Reaction Ball by SKLZ
First to recommend
Description
Let's hope Seattle Mariners rookie Phillippe Aumont throws balls with more consistency than this wild and crazy practice device. A great training tool for fielding, but definitely not designed for improving your pitching accuracy.
