Pitching Machine Accessories

If you have other assistants, you can surround your softball or baseball pitching machine with a batting cage for hitting practice while others direct fielding drills elsewhere. A protective screen is a must for the batting cage, especially when using a pitching machine. Batting cages come in all sizes and price ranges.

Making the Best Use of Your Pitching Machine Coaches who don't have enough help can add to the softball or baseball pitching machine by selecting an automatic ball feeder. ATEC's Automatic Casey Pro Ball Feeder holds up to 20 baseballs. It delivers each pitch with high visibility. The automatic feeder allows players to rotate from hitter to ball feeder. Automatic feeders for baseball and softball pitching machines are made of heavy-duty steel and feature an adjustable tripod. They can hold up to 16 softballs. Another option for a coach with few or no assistants is a remote control for the pitching machine. Most remotes have a range up to 50 feet. The rugged, durable, and dependable remote allows you to coach and keep an eye on other action.

Add a Portable Generator
A portable power supply unit is ideal for situations where electricity isn't available. A gas generator will provide you plenty of time for batting practice in any area. Gas generators are lightweight, making them easy to transport.

Moisture is a pitching machine's biggest enemy, so why not cover your pitching machine when not in use? A vinyl cover features tie-down grommets at the bottom to keep the wind from blowing the cover off, and it fits easily over the machine. That way you don't have to move the machine indoors.

While most pitching machines are fairly lightweight, they can be cumbersome when transporting. To make that easier, consider a pitching machine caddy. Featuring two large wheels and a quick-release handle, a pitching machine caddy makes it easier to relocate from a pitching mound to the storage unit or vehicle.

You can get more from your existing pitching machine with the Swing Zone. Attaching to your tripod-based machine, the Swing Zone changes the vertical and horizontal location of each pitch. It allows you to simulate true game situations.
