Product Overview
The JUGS Carousel Feeder is designed to let players practice hitting on their own without needing a coach or teammate to feed balls into the pitching machine. Constructed from heavy-duty steel and an impact-resistant Lexan drum, the feeder holds 36 baseballs or 18 softballs and automatically releases one ball every 6 seconds to create a consistent practice rhythm.
It is compatible with a wide range of JUGS pitching machines, including the BP1, BP2, SP3, BP3, MVP, PS50, Changeup Baseball and Softball, and mini3 models, though it does not work with older 2-wheel machines or the JUGS Combination 2-wheel machine. The feeder accepts regulation-weight JUGS Practice Baseballs and Softballs in various styles, including seamed, LeatherLast, Softie, Pearls, and Dimpled balls.
Powered by standard 110-volt AC, the feeder features multi-point leg adjustments for fine-tuning height and angle, along with an in-line ON/OFF remote switch that allows players to control feeding from the batter's box during solo practice sessions. It is backed by a 1-Year Guarantee covering parts, normal wear, and factory defects.
