Why You Need a Softball Pitching Machine
A softball pitching machine is an indispensable training tool for players of all levels. It provides consistent, precise pitches at varying speeds and angles, enabling batters to sharpen their hitting skills. Whether it's for solo practice or team training, a throwing machine for softball ensures a steady supply of balls, saving time and effort in retrieving them. It's the ideal companion for refining batting techniques, improving reaction times, and building confidence in the batter's box.
Furthermore, softball throwing machines can be used for fielding drills such as ground balls, line drives, and pop-ups. All of the softball machines featured on this page have the capability of tilting upward or downward to perform these drills.
Fast Pitch Speed and Requirements for Different Leagues
Each fastpitch softball league has its own unique requirements. There are fastpitch softball leagues at the college level, the Olympic level, and also at the local level. Female fastpitch softball pitchers pitch softballs underhanded at a speed upwards of 70 miles per hour. Male fastpitch softball players pitch softballs underhanded at an impressive 95 miles per hour, equating to 153 km/h. These speeds are comparable to those reached by professional pitchers in Major League Baseball (MLB), where overhand pitching is the norm. Based on this information, we recommend purchasing a fastpitch machine that can match the pitch speeds of your league.
Make sure you purchase a softball pitching machine that will pitch the ball as fast or faster than the average pitch speed in the league you are playing or plan to play in.
Benefits of a Fastpitch Softball Pitching Machine
Everyone who plays softball, either slow or fast pitch, can benefit from a fastpitch softball pitching machine. Pick up a fast-pitch softball pitching machine, and you will have the opportunity to practice hitting softballs at your selected speed.
This is exactly what you need to develop the muscle memory necessary to hit “frozen rope” line drives and “long balls” at the dish. Put in a couple of hours per week practicing with your softball pitching machine, and you will credit those hitting sessions the next time you go yard at the plate.
We carry pitching machines for softball that can pitch from speeds ranging from 40-50 mph all the way up to 90+! All of the fastpitch machines listed above can also throw grounders, pop-ups, and line drives, allowing you to run fielding drills!
