USA Made Parts The BATA pitching machines have polyurethane wheels designed to throw regular, low-seam, or dimpled baseballs/softballs.

All the critical components of the machine, such as the framework, wheels, circuit board, speed control dials, and motor, are manufactured in the USA. The steel frame is powder-coated, providing protection against rusting, pitting, and chipping. The speed control box offers the most reliable pitch speed, adjustability, and longevity on the market, making it perfect for players to practice their skills. Additionally, the motor is specifically designed for our pitching machines, ensuring better and longer performance. Baseball, Softball, or Combo This pitching machine allows you to change between baseball and softball. For the best results and to prolong the machine's lifespan, opt for dimpled or low seam balls, which offer accuracy and reduce wear on the wheels compared to leather balls. It is important not to mix different types and sizes of balls since each ball requires a unique setup. Feed Chute This steel feed chute is built to last and withstand long-term use. Its sturdy construction ensures that it won't warp over time. Handle & Fender The pitching machine features a sturdy steel handle that enhances portability and ease of setup. Additionally, its steel fender provides a safety measure, preventing accidental contact with the machine's wheel and reducing the risk of hand or finger injuries.
