Product Overview
The BP1 Softball Only Pitching Machine is designed for advanced players who need to train at game-like speeds and pitch variety. With a digital speed readout controlling velocities from 15 to 70 mph, it throws risers, fastballs and drops to challenge hitters with realistic pitch movement, while its delivery angle is built specifically for softball's underhand game-appropriate trajectory.
Beyond hitting drills, the machine's 360-degree swivel base allows coaches to set up fly balls, pop-ups and ground balls for defensive practice. It comes standard with a 12 in. ball chute (11 in. sold separately) and is compatible with JUGS LeatherLast, Sting-Free, Lite-Flite, SOFTIE and BULLDOG polyballs, as well as regulation 11 in. and 12 in. softballs.
The machine rides on a 16 in. non-marking pneumatic tire for smooth ball delivery and is built on a durable yet lightweight steel frame that breaks down for one-person transport and setup. It can be paired with an optional JUGS Transport Cart for easy tilt-and-roll movement, and runs on standard 110V AC power or a BLUETTI AC70P portable power station for use away from an outlet.
