I'm in NYC probably the largest Dominican playing population in the country. Have seen this or similar forever. I'm forgetting the name, but they sell kits on Ebay that are basically something slightly larger than dominos to hit. Anecdotally, I've seen kids hit awesome with these as well as seeds, beans, etc prior to games and it didn't seem to carry over, was basically eyewash.

You're not competing against a kid hitting bottle caps, you're competing against kids where baseball is a way for them to get out of multi generational poverty.
