ProBatter™
Introducing Pro Batter™ the ultimate
training tool for hitters.
The Pro Batter™
baseball
system is a true-to-life baseball pitching
simulator for use at any level. The system
includes a video component that permits a hitter
to observe the life-size image of an actual
pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch which
is thrown through the video screen by a computer
controlled pitching module. This state of the
art pitching machine is capable of throwing
fastballs and changeups 40-95 MPH. Pitch speeds
can be varied in increments of two MPH, from
right-handed and left-handed pitchers, and
thrown to predetermined locations both inside
and outside the strike zone with pinpoint
accuracy.

Most
Realistic approach to your hitting
"timing" off a machine |
The ProBatter system is not
only a tool for hitters, but has been used
successfully to train catchers to properly
receive and frame pitches, block pitches in the
dirt, and work on their throwing footwork. In
addition, it has been used to train pitchers how
to set up hitters without any arm strain.

The ProBatter Professional baseball pitching
system was thoroughly tested with two Major
League clubs and an elite training academy run
by a former Major League manager before its
introduction in late 2000. It is currently used
by four MLB teams and scores of training centers
in both the United States and Canada.
You won’t want to miss seeing and hitting
off the most realistic batting practice next to
the real thing.

The HomePlate™
Click on HomePlate pitching
machine below to see why this machine is the
most efficient programmable pitching machine on
the market. The HomePlate machine uses a
patented three-wheel pitching mechanism that is
more accurate than two wheels because it puts
more gripping surface on the ball. It also
features an innovative sound and light system
designed to help batters time the pitches, as
well as enhance safety. About two seconds prior
to each pitch the HomePlate machine will beep,
which warns everybody near the machine that a
pitch is coming. Then the batter sees a sequence
of three lights just above the ball exit point
that gives him visual cues comparable to seeing
a live pitching motion, as follows: Beep (the
pitcher sets), red
light blinks
(the pitcher starts his motion), yellow
light blinks
(the pitcher winds up), green
light blinks
(the pitcher is about to release the ball), the
ball is pitched.
THE PROGRAMMABLE PITCHING
MACHINE FOR TEAM USE
Coaches
you can simulate almost any pitcher that you are
likely to face. It can throw a 90 MPH fastball,
followed by a 75 MPH curve, followed by a
change-up, followed by a slider, and it can do
it all automatically with only seven seconds
between pitches. Put that scouting report on
your next opposing pitcher to real use by
programming his pitches into the machine. Just
select random pitch order to simulate that
pitcher for a game-like practice where the
batter will have to recognize and react to the
type of pitch he’s getting... talk about
"real" batting practice. Speeds from
40 to 90 mph.

The
Iron Mike™ (Master Pitch)
Hitting is all about timing. You
must have the proper timing to know when to
start your swing and when to shift your weight.
This is achieved by watching the pitcher's arm
and release of the ball. An arm-style pitching
machine gives you that same sense of timing.
With each pitch you see the
machine's arm wind up and release the ball. It
is the realistic nature of the machine that
allows you to practice the same fundamental in
the batting cage as you use on the field.
Because of this, the Iron Mike™ arm-style
pitching machines from Master Pitching Machine
are the favorite machines of professional
players and coaches worldwide
