so i was messing around at work the other day and accidentally invented a baseball training tool that i think could potentially be pretty useful...ive been at this point before with other things but have no idea where to go with my idea or who to talk to
obviously the word is "investors" but id like to casually talk to somebody who could help me out in a setting where i dont have to have a prototype or business model set up or anything like that
any ideas?

Make a demo video and post it on youtube (then pray someone doesn't take your idea and make your millions!)

Seek advice from a patent attorney.

Why don't you tell me what you invented, then I'll tell you if it's been invented, and I'll go to investors to tell you if they'd buy it

i could do that...but im not looking to market and produce it on my own...im more looking to see if i could get it to somebody like easton or rawlings because people associate quality baseball gear with those brands

Find an industrial designer to design and make some prototypes, find a patent attorney and patent the crap out of it. Then start shopping it around or hope someone makes it before your patent runs out and you can sue their ass.
