The JUGS mini3 Softball Pitching Machine is built for game-like softball training, offering a Select-A-Pitch dial with 7 pre-set pitches including fastballs, right- and left-handed curveballs and screwballs, risers and drop balls. Its 3-wheel design, using patented Grip-Tite 9 in. non-marking pneumatic tires, delivers accurate, consistent pitches without needing to rotate the machine between pitch types.

Speed is digitally adjustable from 30-70 mph and displayed on an LCD readout alongside pitch selection. The machine features vertical micro-adjustment for pinpoint pitch targeting plus vertical and horizontal macro adjustment levers enabling full 360° rotation, suitable for fly ball drills up to 250 feet, defensive infield drills, and catcher blocking practice.

Constructed from cast aluminum and steel with cast-aluminum motor guards protecting its three 1/4 HP motors, the mini3 is compatible with regulation softballs, JUGS LeatherLast, Sting-Free, Lite-Flite, Softie Softballs, and Bulldog Polyballs. It can be powered by 110-volt AC or the Bluetti AC70P Portable Power Supply, and its compact design with an included transport cart makes it easy to move between fields.
