Junior Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine

The Junior Hack Attack Softball Pitching Machine is designed to help developing athletes build essential hitting and fielding skills with precision, consistency, and ease of use. Tailored for youth and high school players, this machine brings advanced training capabilities in a compact, portable form.

Its distinctive three-wheel design allows the hitter to clearly see the ball throughout the feeding motion, acceleration, and release, just like facing a live pitcher. This visual realism is vital for developing proper timing, pitch recognition, and swing mechanics at younger levels.

Wide Range of Pitches with Quick Adjustments

The Junior Hack Attack can throw fastballs, risers, drops, screwballs (both right- and left-handed), curves, and knuckleball changeups, all with a simple turn of the dials. Unlike two-wheel machines that require time-consuming manual adjustments, this machine changes pitch type and break plane quickly by adjusting the wheel speeds.

Additional features include an inside/outside pitch location adjustment handle and an easy-to-use elevation control, allowing coaches to move the pitch around the strike zone between pitches without shifting the entire machine. These controls make it easy to simulate a wide variety of in-game scenarios on demand.

The throwing head pivots instantly in any direction, making it a versatile tool for defensive drills as well. From deep fly balls and slicing line drives to infield pop-ups and grounders, this machine handles it all with accuracy and near-instant recovery time.

Durable, High-Quality Construction

Weighing only 82 pounds, the Junior Hack Attack is easily moved by one person and breaks down to fit into the trunk of a compact car. It rolls on two heavy-duty transport wheels and features a stable tripod base for use on pitching mounds or flat training surfaces.

Built with durability in mind, the machine features a rust-proof, powder-coated steel frame and a heat-treated aluminum throwing head. The three 13" concave throwing wheels are designed to endure heavy use without melting or wearing down.

No assembly is required, just unpack and start training.
