Pitching Machine

I have used the machine a number of times in the short time I’ve had it. It is surprisingly accurate and can get very fast. Easy to set up and use…. Even without reading the directions. It holds a full load of balls. It is easy to charge the battery since we use it away from an electrical outlet.

Perfect Pitcher Pro

We've used the Personal Pitcher Pro a few times now and have been very impressed. The machine provides consistent pitches that allow hitters to get a lot of quality reps while working on timing and solid contact.
One of the biggest benefits we've noticed is how much it helps develop hand-eye coordination. The consistent delivery allows players to focus on tracking the ball and making adjustments without the variability of live pitching.
It's easy to use, keeps practice moving, and provides a great way to get additional swings outside of team practices. Overall, it's been a valuable training tool, and we're looking forward to using it even more throughout the summer, but can also use it indoors if necessary.

Best workout partner ever

This is my second Personal Pitcher Pro. I bought one over 10 years ago and it was time for a new one. I set it up in my finished basement, it pitches out of the laundry room into the family room. After I hit all the balls, I squat to pick them up two at a time. My wife would laugh when I came upstairs pouring sweat. I love that the balls don't damage anything no matter how hard I hit them and its a fun workout I can do to prepare for Cubs Fantasy Camp and the softball season.

Great for working out in the winter!

We’ve had a great experience with the Personal Pitcher. My son has been using it consistently, and we’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in his hand-eye coordination and overall timing at the plate.

What I really like is how easy it is to use — he can get quality reps in without needing someone to throw to him every time. It’s been a huge help for extra practice at home and building confidence between games.

If you’re looking for a simple, effective training tool to help your kid improve hitting, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Game speed training

By far exceeded my expectations. Game speed fast balls. Builds quick reaction time. Helps with confidence seeing a variety of pitches. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing tool

I can't say enough about how awesome this is. My 9 year old got one for his birthday in November. At first he struggles he didn't touch but maybe 5 balls per 50, and honestly it took him awhile to want to hit becuase of how tough it was. Fast forward to February he has been hitting 100-150 pitches off this machine every day nonstop. He begs me to go in the basement and hit balls. He misses less then 5 per. 50 now and crushes them around my basement. My basement is finished and they have done no damage to anything. His confidence is through the roof and he wants to do nothing but go hit balls. We cannot wait for ball to start this spring, If your on the fence about getting one don't wait.

My two sons (11 and 8) love it. We are tracking their results and both are seeing improvement in a very short time. I love that they can use it indoors during this brutal Michigan cold weather. Using the Personal Pitcher with the hitmaster bat is really helping their hand eye coordination and timing.

Incredible customer service

Had some issues with the machine sent out due to UPS. Chris made it right in record speed. Called me to help diagnose the issue and then got me a new machine the next day.

They are the real deal!

Personal Pitcher Pro Review

I work in professional baseball and also coach a 14U team in my personal time, and though I also have a hack attack pitching machine for live work, I needed something to help get lots of reps and accelerate hand eye coordination. This machine is one of two that I was looking at, this to me was far better for the cost and had everything I needed. We use it at every practice, it gets tons of use and is a workhorse. I've noticed the reaction time/ability and hand eye coordination of our team has increased with it's regular use, and coupled with mechanical/power reps it has helped build up a nice group of consistent barrels for us. We use it for some catching and fielding reps/coordination work too, it seriously helps to maximize the time at practice with everyone. Thanks for the great product guys

Great little machine! Does everything it says it'll do. Way less money than comparable machines. I can't see how costing 2x- 3x what this cost, would make it 2x-3x better. There's just no way. I'm glad I found this option a d I'm glad I bought this machine. So far I haven't run the battery dead in a single session and the most balls was around 300-350. I didn't keep track exactly, but my son and I both took turns until we were tired. I dont think it slowed down, at least not notably. Definitely recommended.

What a GameChanger!

Chris handled the order perfectly with utmost courtesy and professionalism. Already starting to see a difference in both my son’s hitting and how they see the ball during the winter training. A great hitting aid for any family with one or two kids in baseball and a great alternative to the batting cages. Thank you for the excellent product!

My son loves it!

I picked up Personal Pitcher Pro for my 10 y/o son in preparation for the upcoming Little League Season. PPP is helping him with his hand-eye coordination, and I can see improvements each time we use it. We set ours up in the garage so that he can practice anytime. I highly recommend PPP.

Incredible Customer Service

This pitching machine is amazing! Right out of the box I was elated to get my son swinging away and shagging balls. The 4 speed settings work well for his age and many years to come.
To our surprise Day 1, we concluded our session and my 8 year old son was so enthusiastic he ran past the power cord slamming the pitching machine to the ground separating the feeder from the machine. I was shocked and imagined it was a total loss, but I contacted Chris and to our surprise he shipped out a replacement machine and return shipping label. So amped to support this company and encourage others to confidently buy from them.

We’ve had this for a week and my son absolutely loves it. We used it with whiffle ball bat and with the soft glove for catching.

My son finds the pitching machine a great help. Very easy too set up. The ball really comes flying out on fast speed.
Highly recommend this for any ball player.

Been using for two years now

This thing has been a game-changer for me. I play in a 35+ adult league and hadn't played in nearly 25 years. I can hit high velo and my bat is super quick. My K rate is about once every 16ABs. I'm the Tony Gwynn of adult baseball!

Excellent machine

This machine is used by my son’s high school team. I decided to get one so he could practice at home and for my other, younger kids. This machine is the best!!! Works as advertised. Virtually silent. Light goes out and the pitch is coming. It’s a nice piece of equipment. Not a junky toy!! Also, things wear out and kids are kids so it’s nice to know replacement parts are available. It’s light, portable and works perfectly. Customer service is amazing! I made a typo on the order and someone called me and she was super nice! Got it all worked out. Fun for dads too when the kids are at school.?

Freaking awesome

I was concerned with the price of this machine versus the quality as compared to other similar machines but this one is pretty amazing. My son loves it and it is definitely helping him with his game. He’s 12.

I purchased one of the first set of models in 2000 and it’s still going strong. So much so that I purchased the newer model which is even better. We use this machine for hitting AND fielding as it is useful in teaching hand eye coordination at all levels.

Best money I’ve ever spent in Softball. Machine does everything you need it to do, movement pitches,inside/outside, hi/lo, even a rise. Buy the new dual color balls with it, they really add a variety of movement pitches. Also, hands down the best customer service I’ve encountered in the last 30 years. Chris, owner, says he’ll call you himself to iron out any problems and he does. I’ll be passing this machine on to my kids’ kids.

Great product, kids love it, I love it. This is a fun way to work on hand eye coordination and hitting drills. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Did I mention they have the best customer service in the industry. If you’re in the market for this machine, don’t hesitate, just get it!

My 11 year old loves this machine. He sits in the hallway and catches balls with the finger web glove all day long. It forces better hand eye coordination that immediately transferred into improved batting sessions. Working on ways to incorporate into my team practices. Highly recommend.

Excellent for hand eye coordination and ball contact. Multiple speeds good for any skill level. Used for both my girls and saw immediate improvement in hitting. Customer service was super helpful.

Swings anywhere

So convenient to take anywhere for swings. Tracking the small ball increases concertation and make a real ball look like a beach ball. As a Coach and league president I would recommend the investment for literally anyone to purchase the personal pitcher! Let 'er rip!
