Baseball Pitching Machine
Build confidence and skill in striking techniques with a variable-speed baseball-pitching machine.

Designed to adjust easily, pitching machines throw training balls at a variety of heights (ground balls, fly ball balls, line drives, etc.), with balls traveling at 30 to 45-MPH, and gives recovery time between throws at 5 to 10-seconds. Fill a pitchers bucket with 15 to 60-balls to make a perfect pitching partner for hours of batting practice.

Pitching machine balls, constructed in EVA foam to polyurethane, often come designed to fit a particular make or model of these fun, effective coaching tools – with the balls actual size or smaller, and softer to avoid hurter anything, which also makes them ideal for practice sessions inside or outside.

Franklin Sports, Louisville Slugger, Atec, and Trend Sports all manufacture a series of baseball pitching machines to aid in teaching tracking and focusing on a softball or baseball from time of release to impact zone.

Some of the common features to the best pitching machine consist of an ergonomic height feeder chute (at the ideal height for adult to kids to feed), vertical adjustment knob, and horizontal adjustment knob. A stable tri-pod style base - with collapsible legs (easy transport/storage), and multiple ball throws (dependent on machine) including fastball, fly balls, breaking balls, pop ups, and line drives and grounders.

All in all, a baseball/softball pitching machine, with its light-weight, portable, and adjustable design, serves as a perfect coaching method for play and training (either indoor or outdoor use) for the enthusiastic senior or youth player.
