There are pitching machines, and there are pitching machines. Some machines pitch real baseballs at 100 m.p.h., and some pitch much lighter practice balls much more slowly. Confusing these two classes of machines may cause problems, so be sure you know what you're dealing with whenever it comes to laying out your hard-earned cash!

Here's this item's description from Atec's website:
"The ATEC Hitting Streak Baseball Pitching Machine throws curveballs, fastballs, sliders, change-ups, drops and risers. The Hitting Streak pitching machine throws baseballs up to 60 mph. ATEC'S Hitting Streak pitching machine is sturdy steel construction and rugged powder coat finish for a durable component of your baseball or softball training program. The ATEC Hitting Streak pitching machine features a Quick-adjust action for fielding drills. The Hitting Streak pitching machine uses only ATEC Tuffy SFT balls which takes the fear factor out of hitting for younger players and allows for using the Hitting Streak indoors."

Let's talk a bit more about this baseball pitching machine business. If you're familiar with what a real baseball pitching machine looks like, you may have noticed that this little Atec is not for throwing real baseballs. The machines that pitch real five-ounce baseballs at up to 100 m.p.h, are much 'beefier' than this little Atec. They have to be, when you consider that a 100 m.p.h. fastball has, in kinetic energy, approximately the same energy as a .22 caliber rifle bullet.

A human pitcher has the luxury of being able to impart all this energy to the baseball over a distance of several feet, much like swinging a sledgehammer. But a baseball pitching machine has to accelerate the same ball from 0 to 100 m.p.h. in the space of only several inches. That's why machines designed to pitch real baseballs use large, heavy wheels to accelerate the ball. As the baseball is pinched between these big wheels, which are spinning really fast, their immense kinetic energy is immediately transferred to the baseball. Bam! Zero to a hundred in a few inches!

The Atec Hitting Streak machine in intended to use the much lighter SFT (about 1 3/4 ounces) rubber baseballs. Pitched at the more modest speeds up to about 60 m.p.h., you get about a tenth of the energy produced by a real baseball from a real pitching machine. Take a closer look at this little Atec, and it becomes much more apparent how that one little wheel inside couldn't possibly fire a real baseball at any appreciable speed.

So, why am I going on and on about the differences between these two classes of pitching machines? I don't want you to get ripped off! All it takes is a quick comparison between the prices of foam baseball pitching machines like this Atec, and prices of the machines that pitch real baseballs, to see how someone could get into lots of trouble if he wasn't aware of these differences! I don't want you to go out and pay a load of cash for a machine the seller swears is designed to pitch real baseballs, only to find out later that your machine only pitches the lighter rubber variety.

As always, the key to your continued success as an eBay seller is to always be curious! By all means, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with what those horrendously-expensive, full-size baseball pitching machines look like. But also be sure to take a look at the other models that Atec makes, like the softball pitching machine and the cordless pitching model. After all, these machines are out there waiting for you!

pitching machines are a unique commodity that can work to address any problems you may be having inside the batting box. Whether you are a Little League star or a professional baseball champion, the benefits of using a quality pitching machine is numerous. However, the task of choosing a sound pitching machine are often overwhelming, as each machine has a different quality, attribute, and cost associated with the machinery. If you are in the market of choosing a good pitching machine for yourself or your baseball star, consider these pointers.

First, look to a pitching machine that is soundly build and uses quality materials. This will not only allow you to invest in a better quality machine, but also get the most use out of your pitching machine. If necessary, you may need to expand your budget in order to purchase a pitching machine that is able to hold up through standard wear and tear associated with practices. Even though you will be investing a greater amount of money in the beginning, you will save by not having to shell out cash for costly repairs or even replacement of the entire machine.

Next, look to a pitching machine with several options in regards to the style and speed of pitch. This is critical if you are purchasing the machine for a younger player who will need to expand his or her game in order to successfully take the faster pitches. Furthermore, the biggest complaint that coaches have the pitching machines is their ability to perfectly replicate a pitch each and every time. This replication allows the player the comfort of knowing exactly what type of pitch to expect, which is not the case when it comes to actual play or practicing against a human pitcher. By having a machine that can vary the speed, style, and location of the pitches, you will be able to better perform on the diamond.

Additionally, choose a machine that is built solid enough for your needs. Develop a budget and work to find options within your price range that are appropriate for your needs. A beginning baseball or softball player does not need a pitching machine that is found in commercial batting cages or in the equipment rooms of professional ball clubs. Furthermore, an advancing player may need a machine that can advance with his or her skills. Having a player practice with an inappropriate machine is often as detrimental as not practicing with a machine at all. Once you have established your needs and budget, begin looking on the market to find an appropriate pitching machine that meets all of your criteria.

Keep in mind that the purchase of a good quality pitching machine requires you to have an appropriate area in which to house the machine itself. Often, smaller years are prohibitive of the permanent installation of the pitching machine without also installing a batting cage. Consider looking to a portable machine that you can take with you during practices to ensure both the machine and the player has ample room to practice. Furthermore, safety is a huge concern when it comes to the purchase of a good quality pitching machine, so you should invest in the proper protective gear, namely a well constructed batting helmet.

When looking to purchase a pitching machine, consider your local sporting supply store. Often, the purchase of more professional machines requires you to turn to a store that specializes in softball or baseball merchandise or a catalog that sells directly to the general public. The World Wide Web is an excellent tool for both researching and purchasing high quality pitching machines, so consider this another option during your search.

The Atec Casey Pro is vaunted as one of the best pitching machines for sale today for a number of reasons with the manufacturer claiming that every breaking ball imaginable at variable speed of up to 100mph can be thrown at you. The head adjustment is extremely quick allowing you to switch from pitch to pitch and drill to drill styles quickly and easily while it has easy mobility due to the quick release legs and transport wheels. It's the most consistently accurate machine available too, due to Atec's dual concave wheel design and of course it also comes with the usual Atec standards of stainless steel wheel guards, all round top strength construction and a powder coat finish that is second to none.

So is it worth the money? Basically, yes. Cheaper machines tend to fall apart after a time, especially in the wheel area and other spots which take punishment over the lifespan of the equipment. But in the case of the Atec Casey Pro, it's built with the sort of quality that will make it last for a long time to come while continuing to provide accurate and reliable pitching practice for years to come, all with the peace of mind of the lifetime warranty. It's a top quality piece of kit and great for all levels of practice from the little leagues to full sized MLB practice!

Just like Jugs, the ATEC pitching machines are a very high quality product. I have never personally used one of them in practice, but I know they have a good reputation and look to be constructed very well.

The high-end models of the ATEC line are the Casey Pro and Casey Pro 3G. The 3G meaning "3rd generation." These machines have two wheels and are able to throw basically any kind of pitch, including fastballs, curveballs, sliders, and even knuckleballs. It can throw up to speeds of 100 mph.

Although they are both very similar in design, and both constructed with high quality, the characteristic that sets the 3G apart from the original Casey Pro is a feature called the micro-adjustment system. Micro-adjustment means that the person operating the machine is able to make tiny adjustments to the machine which will move the pitch all around the strike zone. To be exact, it is able to move the pitch throughout a range of 36” in height, and 18” in width.

This will allow the coaches to simulate game like pitching and work on hitting an exact spot in the strike zone. Hitters can work on hitting balls pitched to all parts of the strike zone, creating a more realistic at-bat experience.

If you’re looking for something a little less pricey, you’ll have to look at the Axis or the Power Hummer machines. These are priced in the $1,500-$1,900 range, but they are not able to throw quite as hard as the Casey machines. The Axis will give you 70 mph, and the Power Hummer 80 mph. They are also great for fielding practice as they are able to rotate very easily so you can hit all positions in the field for a more efficient practice.

The Casey 2 machine will throw baseballs and softballs up to 60 mph and is priced around $1,000. The youth model machine is the Rookie and is priced around $1,000 as well. It can throw up to 65 mph.

A couple other of the low-end models that throw training baseballs or wiffle balls are the Radius and the Power Streak. These are for indoor or backyard use and are available for a few hundred bucks, depending on where you get them.

All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate endorsing the use of the atec pitching machines as they appear to be great products and not to mention they are the official pitching machine of Major League Baseball. They are priced pretty fairly against the other brands of machines and they have many models to choose from depending on your budget.

When kids are first learning how to hit a baseball they usually do it off of a tee (called T-ball league) so they can get the feeling of bat hitting the baseball. As they progress through the youth leagues you start seeing pitching machines implemented for batting practice and some leagues do without pitchers entirely (call coach pitch league), solely relying on a pitching machine to throw all the pitches.

The reasons for using baseball pitching machines is because they are consistent, accurate, and their arm doesn't get sore. Youth baseball players get an excellent hitting practice since the machines can accurately throw different types of pitches and at various speeds.

When kids first learn how to pitch, they can be wild and often hit the batter by mistake, so having a pitching machine in place of the pitcher eliminates that worry. As a parent, I appreciate the fact that most leagues watch out for the younger players in this way.

When the kids are young you only need a basic model that will throw either baseballs at 30 to 50 MPH. Pitching machines with automatic feeders are the best since it eliminates having to load it manually.

Make sure that the pitching machine is portable - should be easy to maneuver it around, put together, disassemble, etc. Pitching machines for baseball range in price from about $100 up to $2000.

What do you need? Probably somewhere in between. For those that want a backyard pitching machine for home use, consider the Louisville Slugger, Jugs, or Trend Sports models. Most handle regulation size baseballs will work fine and you can adjust the speed of the pitch.

The jugs pitching machines are highly rated as they throw fastballs, curveballs, and can reach speed of 75 MPH or higher if needed. Look for pitching machines that also throw fly and ground balls so they can be used for fielding practice as well. Besides Jugs, Atec, BATA, and Zooka make quality pitching machines as well.

Without a doubt, Jugs is the best selling and typically most expensive brand in pitching machines for youth and high school players. Below are listed several youth pitching machines from which you can choose.

The ATEC Radius 270 pitching machine is probably one of the most versatile machines on the market. There are so many benefits of practicing with this machine it is hard to know where to start. It is suitable for most school teams and individuals because it can be modified for any age player.

One of the best benefits of this machine is that it will throw both hard balls and soft balls. This enables a school or community to use it for all teams. It has the ability to pitch fastballs up to 60 miles per hour and softballs up to 58 miles per hour but the speed can be reduced to a much lower speed for inexperience players.

Another benefit is that it pitches all types of balls including fastballs and curve balls and the controls including speed can be changed quickly. The radius, if you haven't figured that out already, is 270 degrees and like most machines it can be adjusted up and down. This machine can also be adjusted side to side giving it a benefit some other machines do not have.

The pitching arm is protected so you do not have to worry about balls bashing into it and causing breakage. You also do not have to worry about kids running into it and snapping it off. The machine is very safe giving it another benefit.

The ATEC Radius 270 Pitching Machine will give hours of practice to individuals or teams to explode their potential. It provides great batting practice at different speeds and with different types of balls. It also provides practice for fielding balls as well. It is one of the best machines on the market today.
