How a pitching machine gets put together makes a huge difference. We test every wheel for balance, run out, and durometer. The wheel is then fine-tuned and is ready to be installed. We then match each wheel to the specific machine and adjust and tune the controller to the wheel and motor combination to ensure performance, reliability, and longevity. The machine then goes through a final quality check then is ready to be boxed up and shipped! See for yourself the difference between real-quality components and attention to detail in assembly make. Our Bata Pitching Machines are made in the USA and offer a 10-year limited warranty.

FAQ
What is the best pitching machine for practice?
The best baseball pitching machine for practice depends on your player’s age, skill level, and goals. A youth pitching machine is great for beginners, while advanced players benefit from higher speeds and multiple pitch types. If you need a flexible option, look for one that adjusts easily and works in different settings.
How fast can these machines throw?
Speed varies by model. A youth pitching machine usually starts low and does not require high speeds. The BATA-1, for example, has a maximum speed of 62 mph. More powerful baseball or softball pitching machines, like the BATA-2, can reach up to 100 mph. All machines include adjustable speed settings to fit the player and drill.
Can I use a pitching machine in my backyard?
Yes. A backyard pitching machine is built for home use. These machines are compact, easy to store, and work well in garages, driveways, or cages. A backyard pitching machine gives you consistent practice without needing a full-size field.
Is an automatic pitching machine good for solo practice?
Absolutely! An automatic pitching machine feeds balls automatically at timed intervals. It’s ideal for solo hitters or for coaches running drills, since it increases reps and keeps practice efficient.
Do these machines work for both baseball and softball?
Yes. Most Hey Bata models can be adjusted for either sport. You can switch between a baseball pitching machine and a softball pitching machine by changing feed chutes or leg height.
Which pitching machine should I start with for a younger player?
Start with a youth pitching machine designed for slower speeds and easier setup, like the BATA-1. It helps young hitters learn timing and mechanics without being overwhelmed. These machines are also light and easy for parents or coaches to manage.
