Pitching machines

[3rd Base Coach]

I have used a 'Twin Spin' for 10 yrs. They are the best. Mike Rizzo 'invented' the machine & builds them in Menifee. I just purchased the newest model so I have 2 - the old one for a backup. I also have an old jugs baseball machine with 2 wheels for HIGH flyballs & other drills. The Twin Spin has a fastball chute & a change up chute. Many colleges use them.

Rizzo doesn't do major advertising. Usually word of mouth. He sends them to universities all over the nation. A little EXPENSIVE - you get what you pay for. I have sold a couple of mine & then purchased new ones.

I have a JUGS for 7 years and they have replaced the controller twice at no charge.

If I had $7500 to spend I would purchase a HOME PLATE pitching machine

That thing is saaweeeet...How much is it? Does it pitch inside and outside with that offset? How do you distract the batter so the are no watching which chute (fast or slow) that you feed the ball into?

I have a Hack Attack and really like the versatility and its ability to change pitch type with the change of a dial setting.

The two wheeler looked cool.
I have a juggs 10 years old. I have had it for 5. Used once a week from Feb. to Oct.

The Twin Spin is approx $2500 + tax. I think it could pitch inside/outside but I don't mess with it. Some of my coaches have put a ball in back of each chute & then releases one. I just put the ball towards the fastball chute & as I bring it down I move it to the change up side. It stills does it's purpose.

I personally think single wheel machines suck! The spins are unrealistic. The facility near us has 3 wheel hack-attack machines that are great! Much more realistic and seem to hold up well! JMO
