Toni Paisley, a trailblazer in the world of softball, has redefined training for pitchers and coaches with her innovative company, Paisleys Pitching. As a former professional athlete, Hall of Famer, and accomplished entrepreneur, Paisley has dedicated her post-playing career to advancing the sport through cutting-edge training resources, groundbreaking products, and a commitment to empowering female athletes.
A record-setting pitcher at East Carolina University, Paisley left an indelible mark on the sport. Her collegiate career saw her become a Division I All-American, a three-time Conference USA Pitcher of the Year, and the conference’s all-time leader in wins, strikeouts, shutouts, and innings pitched. Selected as the 10th overall pick in the 2011 National Pro Fastpitch Draft, she went on to play professionally for the Akron Racers and later represented Peru’s National Team in 2018, competing against elite programs like Team USA and China.

Beyond instruction, Paisley has also made waves in product innovation. She developed the first softball-specific plyometric training balls with seams, a highly sought-after training tool designed to enhance pitching mechanics and arm strength. Additionally, she created the first small-sized water training aids for overhead athletes, catering to softball, baseball, football, and other sports. These products have gained immense popularity, consistently selling out due to their effectiveness and demand among athletes striving for peak performance.
