The HomePlate pitching machine throws any pitch in any order anywhere at any time. The HomePlate pitching machine has the ability to throw a 90 mph fastball, 40mph change-up, curves, sliders, knuckleballs and splitters. ANY PITCH IN ANY ORDER!!! And the HomePlate has the ability to do it all automatically with only a 7 to 10 second gap between pitches. If you have a good scouting report on an opposing pitcher you can program the HomePlate pitching machine to simulate that pitcher or any pitcher. Now your batting practice will give your team a definitive edge. The HomePlate pitching machine has the ability to throw pitches at random, throw stored pitches in sequential order or you can practice repeatedly against any individual pitch. The only limitation is your own imagination with the HomePlate Pitching Machine.
Home Plate Pitching Machine Program Features
The HomePlate pitching machine’s programmable features allow for the ability to conduct hitting drills that target specific hitting skills. It has an overall ball capacity of 80 balls but with an optional hopper extension the HomePlate can hold upwards of 150 baseballs. It stores up to eight different pitches in each of eight different programs (up to 64 total pitches). Here are just a few example programs of the HomePlate:
Fastballs Only Program
Store a sequence of straight fastballs that include two at 65 mph, followed by two at 70 mph, followed by two at 75 mph.
Fastball/Curve Program
Store a 70mph fastball followed by a 65mph curve. See the ball, adjust your swing and hit the ball.
Curveball Location Program
Store 6 perfect curves or sliders and add 2 “breaking balls” out of the strike zone. Use random and now the hitter must “lay off” the bad pitches and only hit those that are in the “hit zone”.
No Swinging Program
Store a variety of pitches…. Inside, outside, fastballs, sliders, up and down and around the plate…… and just have the hitter look and identify without swinging. Now the hitter can really work on SEEING THE BALL by looking at a variety of different type pitches at different speeds into different locations.
ANY PITCH IN ANY ORDER...... NO KIDDING!!!!
The Home Plate Pitching Machine's Unique Design
The HomePlate pitching machine uses a three-wheel pitching mechanism that is more accurate than two wheels because it puts more gripping surface on the ball. The HomePlate pitching machine also features an innovative sound and light system designed to help batters time the pitches. The batter hears a beep and then sees a sequence of three lights…..Beep (the pitcher sets), red light blinks (the pitcher starts the wind up motion), yellow light blinks (batter loads up), green light blinks (the pitcher releases the ball) and the ball is delivered by the machine to the hitter.
