Batting Tutor Backyard Softball Pitching Machine

The Batting Tutor is compatible with 12-inch regulation softballs, RIF (Reduced Injury Factor) balls, and dimpled practice softballs. For the best consistency and to prevent wear on the machine's wheel, we recommend using dimpled balls.

The machine features an integrated light and audible beep system that mimics a pitcher's wind-up. This helps hitters develop their timing and rhythm before the ball is released, rather than just reacting to the pitch.

While the housing is constructed from durable, weather-resistant, high-impact plastic, it is designed for outdoor use during practice sessions rather than permanent storage. We recommend covering it or storing it in a garage or shed when not in use to extend the life of the internal electronics.

With an adjustable speed range of 30 to 60 MPH, this machine is versatile enough for youth players developing their swing mechanics as well as more experienced hitters looking to sharpen their timing. The lower speed settings are ideal for beginners just getting comfortable with live pitching.

Yes, the unit operates on a standard 115V AC power source. You will need access to a standard household outlet or a heavy-duty extension cord rated for outdoor use to power the machine in your backyard or batting cage.

The machine arrives mostly assembled, but you will need to attach the legs and set up the hopper system. Most users find they can have it ready for practice in about 20 to 30 minutes with basic tools.
