Sling Pitcher Baseball Pitching Machines | Softball
The Sling Pitcher is one of the most Unique Pitching Machines created. The Sling Pitcher is mobile and keeps everybody Involved. It is very simple to operate and used just by placing a ball in the sling and letting her rip. The Sling Pitcher is good for baseballs as well as softballs. If you are a coach who dosn't want to throw your arm out every practice and is looking for an affordable alternative the Sling Pitcher is your answer.
How it works
- Sling Pitcher® sets up in less than 30 seconds, and weighs only 15 pounds.
- The operator sets up 30-45 feet from the home plate or batter position and takes a couple of test pitches to find the strike zone.
- Pitches are achieved by placing the ball in the leather pouch, pulling back and releasing the ball. The further back the pull, the faster the pitch. The pitching arms and sling help control the direction of the pitch. A backstop is recommended to collect missed balls.
- Sling Pitcher® has been carefully engineered to throw accurate and consistent pitches. However, the operator can also control speed and general direction to create the feel of a real pitch every time. No other adjustments are needed to change a pitch as in other pitching machines.
- The operator and batter should wear protective gear such as batting helmet and protective glasses. We also recommend purchasing the Sling Pitcher® Sling Guard to protect the operator from hit balls (Sling Guard
- is an accessory not included with the Sling Pitcher®).
