    Improve Bat Speed and Strength
    Learn to be a Contact Hitter

  • The Personal Pitcher is the most affordable and practical means to becoming a better hitter. Mounted on a standard camera tripod, the Personal Pitcher can be used inside or outside all year round! It holds up to 48 golf-sized wiffle balls and the small balls force the hitter to concentrate on seeing the ball. The Personal Pitcher even has a light that tells the hitter when the ball is about ready to be pitched, allowing the hitter to take a stride - something most pitching machines don't easily allow. The Personal Pitcher fits the theory, "All you need is 25 feet and enough area to swing a bat."

    The Personal Pitcher has 4 adjustable speeds: 20 (soft toss), 35, 45, 55+ mph.
    Previous models had only two pitch speeds.

    Personal Pitcher Info

    How fast does it throw?
    Up to 55 MPH, but the effective speed is determined by the distance the batter stands from the machine, typically 18-20 feet. At this distance the speed is equivalent to a 70-85 MPH pitch from 60 feet. The batter can move closer as her skills improve.

    How accurate is it?
    Every pitch is in the strike zone, within a 14-inch diameter from 18 feet away, unless it is a windy day.

    What kind of balls are used and how long will they last?
    Each Personal Pitcher comes with balls made by The Wiffle Ball, Inc. They are the best quality and should last well over one year. Most golf ball sized poly balls will work.

    How far do the balls travel after being hit?
    It depends on the level of the hitter. The best hitters will be able to hit the ball about 100 feet. Most hitters will hit them 40-60 feet.

    What does my warranty include?
    All parts and labor for one year. The defect will be fixed and returned by the manufacturer within 1-2 days at no charge.

    How do I recharge the battery and how long does it take? Can I over charge it?
    Simply plug the machine into the wall with the battery properly installed and it will recharge itself. It takes about one hour for each hour of use. The battery does not have a memory, so it should not lose capacity for many years.

    How heavy is the Personal Pitcher?
    A fully loaded box (w/ 4 dozen balls, tripod and battery) weighs approximately 7 lbs.

    Can I use my own tripod?
    Yes, the Personal Pitcher will mount on any standard tripod.

    What about the net included with some of our packages?
    The 40' x 14' net is a simple rectangular piece of lightweight netting. It is designed to simply & inexpensively contain stray balls if you are using it in a limited-space area. Many like it during cold weather where space is limited too. It includes no cage or frame.

    The major uses of it are:

  • Hung in a garage door opening with "cup hooks" found at hardware stores.
  • Hung from a basement ceiling with "cup hooks" found at hardware stores.
  • Hung between trees using rope or bungee cords.
  • Draped over a portable shade canopy, forming an inexpensive batting cage - see below.

    "My daughter and the entire girls fast-pitch team are enjoying the Personal Pitcher. A number of coaches have expressed interest, and I have lent it out on several occasions.”
    — Tom Gargiulo, Sterling, VA

    "Impressive machine!! Possibly the best batting training aid on the market!"
    --Mark Wyatt, Shafter HS Coach, Bakersfield, CA.

    "GREAT PRODUCT! The three kids want to use it all the time. It works for all our hitters age 10-18."
    --Lou Cantu, Park Forest, IL.

    "I've been coaching at the Pony level for several years. My son is 16 and he's been using the machine everyday since I got it and the difference in his mechanics is unbelieveable! I am very satisfied with your product and have been showing it to my coaching buddies."
    --Jim Lamb, Covina, CA
