The Junior Hack Attack will help transform your dedicated players into the “pros” they aspire to be. At a level where simplicity is crucial, the Junior Hack Attack dials allow you to easily throw major league fastballs as well as right- and left-handed breaking pitches, including curveballs, sliders, and split fingers. This unique three-wheel design alters the breaking pitch plane by simply adjusting the wheel speed dials. In contrast, (all two-wheel units necessitate time-consuming and awkward adjustments to the throwing head to switch between fastballs, curveballs, or right- and left-handed breaking pitches). The Junior Hack Attack’s elevation adjustment handle allows you to raise or lower the pitch effortlessly. With just a simple turn, you can quickly move the pitch up or down within the strike zone between pitches.(Two-wheel pitching machines may require you to release a locking mechanism, manually reposition the entire throwing head by tilting it, and then re-lock the mechanism, making those adjustments awkward and time-consuming). The Junior Hack Attack includes an inside/outside adjustment that allows for immediate, minute ball location change at the plate.This feature will: Center the first pitch without needing to shift the entire machine (eliminating the need to kick the back leg). Enable the operator to adjust the pitch inside or outside with just a quick turn of a handle. In combination with the elevation control, swiftly adjust a pitch to any area of the strike zone between pitches. The throwing head of the Junior Hack Attack pivots effortlessly in any direction for fungo work, including deep fly balls, slicing line drives, catcher’s pop-ups with reverse spin, towering infield pop-ups, and grounders. This effective training tool maximizes practice time with minimal throwing head adjustments required and nearly instant recovery time. Experience more strikes delivered during every practice! The Junior Hack Attack pitching machine easily moves on and off the field by simply tilting it, unsocketing the legs, and rolling it on two heavy-duty transport wheels (not the throwing wheels). The front-wheel guards ensure that the throwing wheels never touch the ground. (Some machines use the throwing wheels for movement, which can pick up harmful dirt and gravel, leading to inaccuracy and wear.) The Junior Hack Attack pitching machine is intended for use with regulation leather baseballs, dimpled practice balls, small balls, and all softer practice balls. (It is not suitable for synthetic leather balls, as they wear out quickly and leave residue on the wheel.)
