The best baseball pitching equipment not only helps hitters improve upon their swings, but also their timing, strength, and overall conditioning. With spring training already under way, there's a waiting line at the outdoor batting cages. While managers and coaches begin to size up their rosters, ballplayers from across the country are getting in top shape for what promises to be one of the most exciting seasons ever!
From the Little League Louisville Slugger to the pros of MLB, the smell of brick dust is in the air, while the sound of bats cracking and crowds cheering can be heard in the distance. The manufacturers of baseball pitching equipment are just as excited and passionate as the fans, and just as dedicated as the players while helping to provide them with top-of-the-line gear for every skill level.
Top Of The Line Baseball Pitching Equipment
ATEC is one of the official equipment suppliers of Major League® ball clubs. The ATEC Hitting Streak machine has been a staple of big leaguers for over a decade, and the all-new Hitting Streak is loaded with more features to satisfy even the most disciplined hitters. Because of its 300° alternating rotation, pitches can be thrown from variable angles. It takes only 8 seconds to reload-delivering two-seam fastballs, curves, and sliders at speeds ranging up to 65 mph.
The new rotating ball feeder holds 16 baseballs for the perfect 2 minute hitting drill. When dealing with baseball pitching equipment from the batter's perspective, the ATEC Hitting Streak is one of the most important tools to getting in rhythm for the dog days to come.
For equipment managers, the Hitting Streak is famous for saving tons of time for setup and takedown, not to mention that it's easy to carry; with the recommended Wilson® Pudge Plus Gear Bag and catchers gear as well, transporting the ATEC Hitting Streak is a snap.
Choosing Baseball Pitching Equipment If On A Budget
The Heater Jr. is another piece of top selling baseball pitching equipment that can pack a burst of fastball power or toss a change-up in a matter of 12 seconds. The art of batting is often based on anticipating the pitcher's ability to fool the hitter and throw the hitter off balance. With the Heater Jr., a full arsenal of movement on the ball is part of each delivery, which can help hitters at all skill levels to either brush up on their swings or be able to lay some wood on the nastiest of sinkers.
This particular piece of baseball pitching equipment can be purchased separately or as an accessorized package that includes a backstop and a pitch-back function
for defense. Heater also recommends their dimpled practice balls that are sold by the dozen. Also known as one of the top-rated softball training aids, the Heater Jr. can be used for either sport.
Battery Powered Baseball Pitching Equipment
The ZS740, made by Zooka, is all-battery powered; it comes with an easy-to-attach tripod, an internal 12 volt battery, plus the AC plug-in battery charger. Built for grassy areas or pavement, the ZS740 can hit 70 mph with its fastball. When assembled, the entire unit's actual weight is just a touch under 30 lbs., which is one of the lightest pieces of baseball pitching equipment to date.
Depending upon desired velocity, the Zooka ZS740 can consistently throw 500 pitches per charge at 70mph, and by decreasing the set velocity to 40 mph, the machine can toss up to 800 pitches without recharging. Convenience is also a key factor with the ZS740, with no cords or tools to worry about. Another amenity is the digital display that can be set and adjusted in 1mph increments, as well as flashing the velocity of each individual pitch after release.
