Personal Pitcher
The first machine was made by the father of professional baseball player, Chris Richard, in 1988. Chris continues to use the machine in the off-season to stay sharp with his hitting.
The Personal Pitcher Pitching Machine is a light-weight pitching machine. It uses golf-wiffle balls, available at most any sporting goods store, which are inexpensive and smaller than conventional baseballs, making them harder to hit. This approach to batting practice allows the hitter to focus on quality contact with the bat.
Do you need practice hitting curves and sliders? You can get that hitting practice! And the machine can simulate curves and sliders from either a right hander or a left hander, depending on the model you choose.
