Why Buy A Sports Attack Baseball Pitching Machine? |
|
|
Exceptional Quality
-
Machines are heavy enough to absorb recoil, ensuring
accuracy, yet portable and easily moved by one person.
-
Extra wide tripod base insures real stability and
safety on pitching mounds or baseball playing surfaces.
-
High tensile, tough heat-treated alloy, weather-resistant
aluminum casting throwing head, protects throwing
mechanism.
-
Rugged powder-coated rust-proof steel frame ensures
limitless seasons of use.
-
The throwing wheels out-last all other pitching machine wheels
and don’t melt in direct summer heat. Sports Attack has
never replaced a wheel from wear or heat exposure.
-
Three powerful variable speed motors drive three
indestructible concave 14” throwing wheels.

Junior Hack Attack Pitching Machine |

Unique Features
- With the three-wheel design you can see the ball
clearly all the way through the feeding motion,
acceleration and release, just like a live pitcher.
- The hitter sees when to stride and the angle of release,
giving him an actual live-arm sense of timing and location.
- With a quick turn of the dials you can effortlessly throw
major league fastballs, and right and left handed
breaking pitches including curveballs, sliders
and split fingers.
- The three-wheel design changes the breaking pitch plane
by simply adjusting wheel speed dials. (All two-wheel units
require time consuming awkward throwing head
adjustments to change from fastballs to curveballs or right
to left handed breaking pitches.)
- The elevation adjustment handle will raise or lower the
pitch. With a simple turn, you can even move the pitch
up or down within the strike zone between pitches.
(On two-wheel units it may be necessary to release a
locking mechanism, reposition the entire throwing
head by tilting it manually and then re-locking the
locking mechanism. These are awkward
time-consuming adjustments.)

The Hack Attack in Transporting Mode |
|
- Throwing head pivots instantly in any direction
for all fungo work including deep fly balls that
can drive fielders to the fence, slicing line drives,
catcher's pop-ups with reverse spin, towering
infield pop-ups, and grounders.
- Makes most efficient use of practice time with
limited throwing head adjustments needed and
an almost instant recovery time. More strikes
delivered at every practice!
- Both of our pitching machines quickly move on and off field, just
tilt it, unsocket legs and easily roll on two transporting wheels.
|
|
- The front wheel guards insure the throwing wheels never come in contact with the ground.
(Some machines are moved using throwing wheels, picking up dangerous dirt and gravel which
causes inaccuracy and wear.)
- Both pitching machines are designed for use with regulation leather balls, dimpled practice balls,
Wiffle® balls and all softer practice balls. The Junior Hack Attack will also convert to throw a
7.5” undersized vision training ball.
- No assembly is required, both pitching machines arrive fully assembled and ready for your immediate use.

- Three wheel spin control for ease of operation,
requires no cumbersome adjustments of throwing
head when changing spins- just an adjustment
of wheel speed.
- Large wheel diameter provides throwing
efficiency and long life.

The Junior Hack Attack Baseball Pitching Machine is the major-league quality training tool designed to develop serious young players. It has all of the unique features of the Hack Attack Professional Pitching Machine, including our patented three-wheel design that provides complete vision. In developing hitters, especially at younger ages, there is nothing more important than timing and vision.

The Junior Hack Attack Pitching Machine is extremely portable and is the machine that will develop your dedicated players into the “pros” they want to be. |
The Junior Hack Attack fits easily into any small car

Junior Hack Attack Baseball Machine is the only pitching machine that will convert quickly to throw a special 7.5" diameter vision training ball. This critical size forces centering and tracking while maintaining proper hitting mechanics. (see accessories for ball details) |

What the Coaches are saying: |
| |
“I have been coaching professional baseball, including the major league level, for over 30 years
and I have used this machine every day for both offensive and defensive work. It is by far the best
pitching machine on the market.”
Joe Maddon, Manager, Tampa Bay Devil Rays
“We use Hack Attacks throughout our organization. For the first time, a pitching machine actually
travels with our big league team when we are on the road. We use it for pregame hitting and for
our pinch hitters because it simulates the opposing pitcher’s toughest breaking pitches our hitters
face every night. In the past our hitters refused to hit off of pitching machines once the season started.
The Hack Attack eliminates any complaints about timing. Being able to see the ball accelerate
realistically simulates arm action. Timing, timing, timing.”
Duane Espy, Hitting Instructor for the Colorado Rockies
“The Hack Attack’s 3-wheel design eliminates the delays caused by pivoting the throwing head
when changing pitches. You can instantly dial in great curve balls over 70 MPH, sharp sliders
over 80 MPH and fastballs over 90 MPH.”
John Savage, Head Baseball Coach, UCLA
"My coaches used to resist using pitching machines and relied on using live throwing arms.
However, the Hack Attack is a great training tool for our hitters and catchers. The Hack Attack is as
good as live pitching with its vision and timing. It throws accurate breaking pitches, it's indestructible
and it's easy to operate and move. We use the Hack Attack in our practices and camps year round."
Paul Mainieri, Head Baseball Coach, Louisiana State University
“I have been in baseball almost 50 years both as a major league player and college baseball coach.
I have seen a lot of changes. The Hack Attack leaves all other pitching machines behind. With it’s
ball visibility, accuracy, fungo ability and portability, it will not sit in the shed.”
John Oldham, Former Cincinnati Red; Head Coach, University of Santa Clara |
