The Sling Pitcher is the best pitching and training machine on the market today, AT ANY PRICE!!!
The Sling Pitcher is a manually operated pitching and training machine that is designed for softball or baseball. Weighing only 16 pounds, it is easily transported and stored. It sets up in less than a minute from a convenient carry bag, and can throw regulation baseballs and softballs to 70 & 50 mph, respectively. And the Sling Pitcher does not damage any ball. The Sling Pitcher allows the operator to throw any pitch at any speed and in any location in the zone at any time, allowing the coach to work on a hitter’s weaknesses. The Sling Pitcher works equally well with either baseballs or softballs, with no modification of equipment required.
Much More Than Just A Pitching Machine. It takes only seconds to convert the Sling Pitcher from a pitching machine to an effective fly ball machine, simply by inserting the Fly Ball Arms that are included with every Sling Pitcher. The Sling Pitcher can throw regulation baseballs to well over 150 feet, and softballs to over 125
Featured Pitches of the Sling Pitcher
The most effective pitch in youth baseball or softball is the Change-Up. It is thrown with the Sling Pitcher simply by reducing the pull on the ball and adjusting the release point. Breaking balls, risers and drops balls can be thrown by adjusting the ball in the pouch to produce various spins. However, the ability to vary the speed and location of every pitch, allowing coaches to teach players to recognize and adjust to these pitches, is what makes the Sling Pitcher the best pitching and training machine on the market.
The Value of the Lightweight Practice Balls With the ability to throw the light weight perforated plastic balls accurately into the 80s, the Sling Pitcher is extremely effective for indoor use during inclement weather, or when practice space is limited, as when on the road at away games. It will also throw the foam or tennis balls. A coach can go through a whole team in 30 minutes, giving every player a great warm-up session. Teams even use the Sling Pitcher on the side lines during games or between innings to help players adjust to a faster pitcher.
The Optional Sling Turret The Sling Turret is an optional swivel base that locks beneath the Sling Pitcher to provide instant rotation of the pitching machine to any part of the field. It is most effective when throwing fly balls to outfielders, allowing the operator to lead fielders or to switch to different field locations.
The Optional Sling Guard Protective Shield The Sling Guard is a protective shield that works in conjunction with the Sling Pitcher pitching machine to protect the operator from returned balls. Built with a steel frame, heavy nylon reinforced vinyl and urethane window and flap door, the Guard is light weight, (25 pounds) and also breaks down into a convenient carry bag. It sets up in about 5 minutes.
