ANNOUNCING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HIT-A-WAY®
SKLZ celebrates 10 years of the Hit-A-Way® and looks back on the history of the most successful baseball swing trainer of all time
SKLZ is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of its first ever and most successful product, with the release of a special 10 year anniversary edition of the Hit-A-Way®.
Created in 1998 by backyard inventor Tim Minniear, the Hit-A-Way®was picked up by SKLZ parent company Pro Performance Sports in 2003 and instantly became an overnight sensation with parents and youth ball players eager to improve their on field performance.
“I was looking for the next big thing and when the Hit-A-Way®came to me, I knew I had found it.” Said SKLZ CEO John Sarkisian, “ As a father of little leaguers I always wanted to help them elevate their game. The Hit-A-Way®was the product I knew would give them the best opportunity at getting the repetitions and hits they needed to succeed on the field.”
Since 2003 the Hit-A-Way®has been hugely successful through direct response television advertising and in major retailers like Wal-Mart and Amazon. 10 years later the Hit-A-Way®is the best selling batting swing trainer of all time with over 3 million sold in over 35 countries around the world.
The 10 year anniversary edition Hit-A-Way®is available for a limited time for $29.99 at sklz.com and on Amazon.com.
