Product Overview
The JUGS BP3 Softball Pitching Machine with Changeup is built for serious softball programs, using a 3-wheel design to deliver eight distinct pitch types across a 45-75 mph speed range. The Select-A-Pitch dial and remote-control changeup feature allow seamless transitions between fastballs and changeups without giving hitters a visual cue, replicating true pitcher-like variability for realistic batting practice.
Key hardware includes Grip-Tite 12 in. pneumatic tires with an average 20-year lifespan, three 1/4 HP motors, cast aluminum motor guards, and a large 3 in. LCD display for quick speed adjustments. The machine offers 360-degree rotation, vertical and horizontal macro adjustment levers, and Pinpoint patented micro-adjustments for precise zone control, along with a standard Long Feed Chute for the Always-See-The-Ball delivery system.
Designed for versatility, the BP3 supports fly ball drills up to 250 feet, defensive infield drills, and catcher blocking work, and can be paired with an optional 18-ball carousel feeder for solo or continuous use. A transport cart is included for easy tilt-and-roll movement on and off the field, and the machine is recommended for skill levels ranging from backyard players to advanced travel ball and college competition.
