Our B1 Curveball Pitching Machine stands out as one of our single-wheel models, capable of delivering both fastballs and curveballs with the added flexibility to adjust the spin on straight pitches. Moreover, it’s proficient at launching fly balls. With a top speed of 62 mph, this versatile machine caters to various baseball needs, from little league training and batting practice to machine league competitions and high school player development. Crafted in the USA, it comes with a reassuring 10-year limited warranty.
The BATA pitching machines have rubber wheels designed to throw regular, low-seam, or dimpled baseballs/softballs. For the best results, it is recommended to use low-seam and dimpled balls. This allows players to practice with the same type of balls they will use in games, improving their accuracy and skill.
All the critical components of the machine, such as the framework, wheels, circuit board, speed control dials, and motor, are manufactured in the USA. The steel frame is powder-coated, providing protection against rusting, pitting, and chipping. The speed control box offers the most reliable pitch speed, adjustability, and longevity on the market, making it perfect for players to practice their skills. Additionally, the motor is specifically designed for our pitching machines, ensuring better and longer performance.
This steel feed chute is built to last and withstand long-term use. Its sturdy construction ensures that it won’t warp over time. Additionally, the chute’s adjustable knobs allow you to easily center the ball for more consistent pitches.
The pitching machine features a sturdy steel handle that enhances portability and ease of setup. Additionally, its steel fender provides a safety measure, preventing accidental contact with the machine’s wheel and reducing the risk of hand or finger injuries.
User Manual
For the best results and to prolong the machine’s lifespan, opt for dimpled or low seam balls, which offer accuracy and reduce wear on the wheels compared to leather balls. It is important not to mix different types and sizes of balls since each ball requires a unique setup.

This is the style by which the pitch is thrown. “Wheel design” machines either uses 1, 2, or 3 spinning wheels to propel the ball. Generally the more wheels, the wider variety of pitches that machine can throw, such as curves, sliders, forkballs etc. “Arm-action” machines from the Master Pitch company use a steel arm which rotates around to hurl the ball. The advantage of these machines is the batter’s ability to see the ball for a longer period of time, and work on timing as it’s released from the arm.
The draw-back of arm-action machines is that they can only throw fastballs, no “junk” pitches.
Wheel machines help batters practice their timing. To ensure more time between ball release and pitch, choose a machine with a long and highly visible “entry chute.” Then, the operator releases the ball and the machine throws it.
To find the right machine for practice, look for one that can throw different ball types, like synthetic PVC, dimpled, and leather. Leather balls are ideal for experienced batters, while dimpled balls are safer for young, inexperienced players and work well in practice environments.
Always use balls suggested by the manufacturer or ask for their referral on the best ball to use with their machines. The manufacturer calibrates the machine to pitch a specific density ball at maximum speed and performance, so it’s crucial to follow their advice. Here are the recommendations for the machines we carry:
Another key point – NEVER use regulation balls as they wear down not only the machines but also the balls. When a machine states it throws real balls, they mean it feels, sounds, and reacts like a real game ball.

All machines ship direct from the manufacturer. This maintains your full warranty, and keeps shipping costs low.
Most manufacturers keep a full supply in stock at all times, but there are periods when they are back-ordered. Just check with us or one of the manufacturers – if they have it in stock, then so do we.
This depends on the machine, but most machines with exception of Iron Mikes can ship via Common Carrier (UPS or Fedex), so average about 20% of the product cost. Iron Mike machines ship Motor Freight and shipping to a business is cheaper than a residence. Just check with us for a quote.
