Just think what your batting average will do if you can hit the changeup!

By changing the speeds at the press of a button, without the hitter knowing it, batting practice simply isn’t automatic anymore. Switch between fastballs and changeups with a touch of a button using the hand-held Remote Control. The Remote Control can be used at the machine, behind the hitter, or even in the dugout.

It is a great defensive training tool as well. The swivel design base provides 360-degree movement for fly balls, pop-ups, and ground balls. For fly balls, the machine also allows balls to fly the full distance. When you change it to changeup speed, fly balls are considerably shorter which forces outfielders to sprint to catch the ball. They are on their toes since they have no idea how far balls will travel.

The Changeup throws regulation leather baseballs, 11″ or 12″ softballs, or any of the JUGS pitching machine balls like the Pearl Baseballs, JUGS LeatherLast Softballs, JUGS Sting-Free balls, JUGS Lite-Flite balls, JUGS Softie balls and the JUGS Bulldog polyballs.
