Product Overview
The JUGS Changeup Baseball Pitching Machine is built for advanced hitters who need to prepare for varied pitch speeds. Its changeup feature lets coaches and players switch from fastballs up to 70 mph to changeups as low as 44 mph instantly, using either the control panel or a keychain remote control that works from anywhere on the field, including near the machine, at the plate, or in the dugout.
The machine delivers pitches from a realistic 64 in. release height and is compatible with a wide range of balls, including regular baseballs, JUGS Pearl Baseballs, Sting-Free baseballs, Lite-Flite baseballs, Softie baseballs, and Bulldog polyballs. A 360-degree swivel design also allows it to be used for defensive drills, throwing fly balls, pop-ups, and ground balls without repositioning.
Weighing 75 lbs. and mounted on a 16 in. pneumatic tire, the Changeup machine is easy to move around the field without heavy lifting. It's recommended for high school, college, and advanced travel ball programs, and is backed by a 2-Year Guarantee covering parts, normal wear, and factory defects.
