✓ Authorized JUGS Dealer — ships brand-new from Tualatin, Oregon with the full JUGS guarantee

The JUGS mini3 is designed as the most portable, versatile, and easy-to-use 3-wheel pitching machine in its class. Its 3-wheel design improves contact with the ball for exceptional pitch control and eliminates the need to rotate the machine when changing pitch types, while the Select-A-Pitch dial offers 8 preset pitches including fastballs, split-finger fastballs, left- or right-handed curveballs, cutters, and sliders.

Key features include patented Grip-Tite 9 in. non-marking pneumatic tires rated for an average 20-year life expectancy versus 5 years for solid tires, three 1/4 HP motors with cast-aluminum motor guards, a large LCD readout display, and the Always-See-The-Ball delivery system that gives hitters an unobstructed view of the ball chute. The machine also offers 360-degree horizontal rotation, vertical macro adjustment for deep fly balls up to 250 ft., and a fine Pinpoint micro-adjustment system for precise targeting.

Weighing just 95 lbs. and fitting in most car trunks, the mini3 is built for quick setup and easy transport between practice locations. It supports offensive, defensive, and catcher's drills, and an optional Defensive Short Legs accessory can be added to lower the release point for infield, catcher, and fly ball drills. It's suitable for skill levels ranging from backyard players to professional hitting facilities.
