VALLE SHIELD PROTECTIVE SCREEN PACKAGE The Only Safety Screen that is now required to be in every MLB ballpark's home and away batting cage! The Valle Shield features a patented design with a Front Hanging Net that sets a new standard in player safety. Unlike traditional L-screens—originally created to protect pitchers from line drives—The Valle Shield addresses the modern realities of close-range batting practice in baseball and softball. As hitters now train from distances as short as 25 feet, the risk of dangerous ricochets has increased significantly. The Valle Shield virtually eliminates that threat, keeping both pitchers and hitters safe from high-velocity rebounds. Its innovative netting system absorbs impact rather than deflecting it, providing unmatched protection. Note: For optimal safety, the Front Hanging Net should be replaced annually.
