Pitching Machines for the Home
Can be used outdoors (in the backyard) or indoors (in the basement or garage)
There are a lot of choices when it comes to a back yard pitching machine, but there is only one type that does not require an expensive batting cage - the polyball pitching machine.
Baseball or softball batting cages are very expensive, take up a lot of room, and are a hassle to cut grass in and around, and maintain. They are a requirement if you are going to hit a baseball or softball in the backyard. But there is an alternative......
Polyball Pitching Machines
Polyball machines pitch a plastic ("poly") ball, either a mini golf ball size or baseball size (some will convert and pitch a softball size) polyball. One huge advantage of the polyball machines are the limited flight of the ball - at no compromise of quality pitching and quality pitches.
The Sandlot Slugger
The original and arguably the best value in a pitching machine. There are two versions of the Personal Pitcher: the Pro and the Standard model.
The Pro model throws fastballs at 4 different speeds, with a top speed of 55mph. It also throws curve balls and sliders.
The Standard model is for those who don't need curve balls. It will throw fast balls at 4 speeds - but no curves or sliders.
Both models have an automatic ball feeder that feeds the mini polyball from a 100 ball hopper. There is a pitch indicator light which will let the hitter know that a pitch is about to be delivered.
See the Sandlot Slugger page for more detailed information
