Product Overview
The Baseball Junior Hack Attack Conversion Kit lets owners of the three-wheel Junior Hack Attack pitching machine switch the unit from throwing regulation baseballs to throwing softballs. Because the Junior Hack Attack shares the same three-wheel design and dial-based speed adjustment as the full-size Hack Attack, the conversion preserves the machine's ability to deliver fastballs and right- or left-handed breaking pitches simply by changing relative wheel speeds, with no throwing-head tilting required.
The kit includes three dedicated softball throwing wheels, three softball legs, a transport leg and a softball chute, replacing the baseball-specific components so the machine can grip and release the larger softball accurately. This mirrors how the machine already handles ball changes for baseball, keeping the three-point ball grip that gives the Hack Attack line its accuracy and reduced wheel and ball wear.
This conversion is intended for programs, coaches and families who already run a Junior Hack Attack for youth league, backyard, machine-pitch games or travel-team drills and want to extend the same machine into softball practice rather than purchasing a second unit. It fits the same level-of-play range as the baseball configuration, from beginner drills to more advanced hitting sessions.
Sports Attack designs its machines and components for field-level serviceability, and the conversion kit follows that philosophy: swapping wheels, legs and the chute is a straightforward mechanical process using only a few common tools, in line with how Sports Attack describes routine part replacement and maintenance on the Hack Attack platform.
The kit ships via UPS Ground with a shipping weight of 30 lbs, making it a manageable accessory shipment compared to the full pitching machine. Once installed, the converted machine retains the Junior Hack Attack's portability, rolling wheel transport and elevation/inside-outside adjustment features, so coaches can move between baseball and softball training with the same base unit.
