Jugs BP1 Baseball Pitching Machine

The Jugs BP1 Baseball Pitching Machine is a single-wheel pitching machine that throws 15-70 mph, from coach-pitch speeds at the bottom to high school batting practice at the top. A digital readout shows the exact mph on every pitch. It weighs 75 lbs. and rolls on its own 16 in. pneumatic tire. One person walks it from the shed to the cage without a cart. It plugs into a 110V AC outlet. On a field with no outlet near the cage, the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack or a Yamaha EF2000iSv2 generator keeps it throwing.

Long straight legs set a realistic release height for baseball hitting drills, and the swivel base turns a full 360 degrees for fly balls, grounders and pop-ups. The machine accepts real baseballs along with Sting-Free, Lite-Flite, SOFTIE, JUGS Pearl and BULLDOG training balls, plus tennis balls. Add the optional carousel feeder and the BP1 delivers balls on its own. A pitcher's screen goes in front of the machine, and the Protector Series L-Shaped Screen is built to protect the person feeding a pitching machine.

Inside the BP1

How it works

A single wheel on a 16 in. pneumatic tire throws every pitch, and a heavy-duty steel frame with weather-resistant components stands up to repeated daily use.

Power from an outlet, battery or generator
The BP1 runs on a 110V AC outlet, the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack or the Yamaha EF2000iSv2 generator. On a field with no outlet, the battery pack or the EF2000iSv2 generator keeps the machine throwing. Both are separate items, sold on their own.
AC, battery, generator
A 16 in. pneumatic tire
One wheel throws the pitch, and on the BP1 that wheel carries a 16 in. pneumatic tire that delivers consistent spin and pitch accuracy. Non-marking is the part that matters indoors, where a marking tire leaves a black stripe across a cage floor. The same tire is the transport wheel: the machine tips onto it and rolls.
Non-marking
A digital speed readout
The BP1 shows the exact mph on a clear digital readout across its 15-70 mph range, so a coach sets an exact number. That matters when a session steps a hitter up in five mph increments, and it matters when the next coach takes over the machine and needs to know what the last one was throwing.
15-70 mph
Steel frame on long straight legs
The BP1 is built on a heavy-duty steel frame with weather-resistant components for repeated daily use. Long straight legs under it give a realistic release height for baseball hitting drills. Overall it stands 59 in. tall and 56 in. wide.

How to use it

Jugs BP1 Baseball Pitching Machine, portable 75 lb frame
Portability

Moved by one person

At 75 lbs., the BP1 needs no cart and no second coach. Grasp the two back legs, tip the machine onto its pneumatic tire and roll it as you would a wheelbarrow, then set the legs down where the session starts. Indoors, the non-marking tire leaves the cage floor clean on the way in.

Jugs BP1 Baseball Pitching Machine, digital speed readout
Speed range

Speed set on a digital readout

A 55 mph spread from the slowest setting to the fastest lets one machine serve a pitching-machine league and a high school program out of the same shed. At the bottom the BP1 throws slow enough for a hitter who has never faced a machine. At the top it throws 70 mph, where the BP1 and the Changeup Baseball top out; the three-wheel SP3 and BP3 go to 90. Pitches arrive in close to the same place each time, so a hitter can groove a swing against a repeatable ball. Set the tire to 16 to 17 psi for baseballs or 25 psi for tennis balls, and use the chute angle for height: tipped toward home plate for a lower pitch, away for a higher one.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

15-70 mph. The BP1 carries a digital speed display, so you set the exact mph and read it back off the machine. The Changeup Baseball covers the same range, and the three-wheel BP3 runs 40-90 mph.
It stands 59 in. tall and 56 in. wide and weighs 75 lbs., and one person moves it: lift the two back legs and roll it like a wheelbarrow on the 16 in. tire.
Three sources: 110V AC, the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack, or the Yamaha EF2000iSv2 Generator. It plugs into a standard 110V AC outlet, the motor is rated 3 amps at 90V DC, and an extension cord up to 25 ft should be 3-wire 16 AWG or heavier.
High-quality leather baseballs plus Sting-Free dimpled, Lite-Flite, SOFTIE, JUGS Pearl and BULLDOG training balls, and tennis balls with the tire at 25 psi.
No, it throws at the speed you set. The Changeup Baseball Pitching Machine shares the BP1's 75 lb weight and 16 in. pneumatic tire and adds a remote that drops the pitch from 70 mph to 44 mph mid-session. The BP3 throws changeups as one of nine preset pitches at 40-90 mph.
Youth leagues, pitching machine leagues, high schools and colleges. The 15-70 mph range starts slow enough for a first season against a machine, and the 70 mph top end covers batting practice through high school and college.
Yes. The base swivels a full 360 degrees, so the machine that just fed batting practice turns and sends fly balls, grounders and pop-ups to your fielders without being picked up.
Yes. Choose the BP1 version of the Jugs Carousel Feeder, sold separately: it holds 36 baseballs, releases one every 6 seconds and comes with an in-line ON/OFF remote switch, and a hitter can then work without anyone feeding balls.
A baseball chute and long straight legs come with the BP1. Setup takes a 1/2 in. wrench: screw the T-handle into the base, slide the three legs into place and bolt the chute to the rubber pad bracket. Balls, the feeder, the battery pack and the generator are sold separately, and the person feeding it needs a pitcher's screen, safety glasses and a batting helmet.
