Product Overview
The BP3 Baseball Pitching Machine with Changeup is JUGS' most advanced 3-wheel pitching machine, combining a 40-90 mph speed range with patented micro-adjustments for precise pitch location control. Its 12 in. Grip-Tite non-marking pneumatic tires last significantly longer than solid tires while delivering accurate pitch delivery, and the 3-wheel design lets users switch between 9 preset pitches without rotating the machine.
Key features include a Select-A-Pitch Dial for choosing fastballs, changeups, curveballs, sliders, cutters and split-finger fastballs, plus a Fastball/Changeup Hitting Circuit that automatically alternates pitches for realistic game-like at-bats. The Long Feed Chute keeps the ball visible for realistic stride timing, and a 3 in. LCD Readout Display with digital speed adjustment simplifies operation. Vertical and horizontal macro adjustment levers provide 360° rotation for full-field practice, including long fly balls and pop-ups.
Built from cast aluminum and steel yet weighing just 140 lbs., the BP3 is designed for easy setup and mobility, with Quick-Snap leg attachments and a wheelbarrow-style transport position. It runs on 110-volt AC power or the Bluetti AC70P Portable Power Supply, and is compatible with a wide range of baseballs including JUGS Pearl, Sting-Free, Lite-Flite, and Bulldog Polyballs. An optional Defensive Short Legs accessory extends its use to defensive drills like pop-ups and grounders.
