TUALATIN, Ore., Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- JUGS Sports is pleased to announce its newest practice aides, The JUGS Changeup Baseball and Super Softball Pitching Machines. As a result of new technology, the Changeup machines are designed to go from fastball to changeup at a touch of a button.
"Imagine setting up for a 70-mph fastball and getting a 55-mph changeup instead. The Changeup machines are designed so that hitters won't see or hear the machine change speeds. This is as close as a pitching machine will get to a live pitcher," said Mike White, head softball coach, University of Oregon.
According to a national survey conducted at the National Baseball Coaches Association and National Fastpitch Coaches Association conventions, nearly 96 percent of all coaches indicate that a changeup-like machine is needed to enhance the practice experience for their hitters. The JUGS Changeup Pitching Machine's higher speed range is designed to answer that call; it is for the advanced player whose skills demand practicing at game-like speeds.
"We believe that this technology has the potential to revolutionize how teams take batting practice," said Butch Paulson, president of JUGS Sports.
At just 75 - 80 pounds respectively, the Changeup Baseball and Super Softball Pitching Machines come with a remote control on a convenient key chain as well as a manual changeup button located on the machine's control panel.
"All of our machines are designed to develop muscle memory and hand-eye coordination, and give hitters as many game-like strikes as they will ever need. Whether a player needs to work on a 70-mph fastball or a 55-mph changeup, our latest innovation found in the Changeup machines can fit a player's specific hitting needs," said Paulson.
The Changeup Baseball and Super Softball Pitching Machines are available November 30.
