For many coaches, a Heater baseball pitching machine is the perfect accompaniment to a team practice. Although it uses a basic wheel throwing mechanism, Heater stands out with its unique structural design for a safe batting practice.
Their main batting machines are meant for more experienced batters, but they do offer a junior machine version to support the little league team's batting needs.
The Heater baseball pitching machine uses a one wheel mechanism to expel a ball forward from the machine. However, Heater uses an enclosed wheel and tire configuration. Unlike the majority of softball hitting machines, Heater does not have an open wheel mechanism that can be dangerous for curious fingers. In fact, they enclose the one wheel with heavy steel so that the rotating tire cannot be seen or touched.
Heater Baseball Pitching Machine Helps Balls Last Longer
Heater has also made it easier to reduce wear on the baseballs being thrown; the internal tire is air filled, rather than solid. As a result, balls are not subjected to intense friction that can slow the speed down after ejection or cause excessive wear to the ball itself. Coaches will find that they will need to purchase fewer balls during a team's season.
