Jugs | BP1 Combo
One wheel throws every pitch this machine makes. That single 16 in. pneumatic tire, spun by a motor and set by a digital control, is what gives the BP1 Combo a 15-70 mph range and a pitch that lands in the same place round after round. Jugs calls the BP1 Combo the most widely used youth-league pitching machine in the world, and the reason is the arithmetic of a single wheel: fewer moving parts to keep in agreement, fewer things to drift out of adjustment across a season of Tuesday practices.
Both sports come in the box. For baseball the BP1 Combo ships with a 9 in. chute and long straight legs; for softball, a 12 in. chute and short curved legs. Jugs states the adjustable release point mimics the downward plane of a live pitcher, and the swivel base lets a coach mix in fly balls, grounders and pop ups without repositioning the machine. It weighs just 75 lbs and the legs detach, which Jugs states makes it easy to move and transport in most car trunks. Power is 110V AC, and the manufacturer names the Yamaha EF2000iS V2 Generator and the Complete Practice Battery Pack as compatible. Jugs publishes no feed rate, hopper capacity, release height in inches, numbered pitch list or overall dimensions for this machine.

Closer look
Jugs states the digital speed adjustment on the BP1 Combo dials in exact speeds from 15-70 mph. That is the widest range of any single-wheel machine in this comparison and it covers two age groups off one machine. The pitch itself is what Jugs sells the BP1 on: set up for either sport, pitches are thrown from a realistic release point and throw consistent strikes so players can step into the batter's box knowing each pitch is going to be a strike. For a young hitter, that consistency is the whole training effect.
The BP1 Combo arrives ready for both sports. Baseball gets the 9 in. chute and long straight legs; softball gets the 12 in. chute and short curved legs. Jugs states it comes with the right chutes and legs to quickly switch between baseball and softball. For a school running a baseball program and a softball program out of the same equipment room, that is one machine on the inventory and one machine to maintain. The published ball list covers both: baseballs, softballs, Sting-Free, Lite-Flite, SOFTIE, Bulldog, Pearl and LeatherLast.
Jugs states the BP1 Combo weighs just 75 lbs with detachable legs, making it easy to move and transport in most car trunks. Once it is set down, the swivel base turns the machine to mix in fly balls, grounders and pop ups without repositioning it, so batting practice becomes infield work without anybody lifting anything. Power is 110V AC, and Jugs names two specific items as compatible: the Yamaha EF2000iS V2 Generator and the Complete Practice Battery Pack, both separate purchases.
Compare
Three machines that throw both sports. The BP1 Combo is the middle rung: a single wheel, both chutes sized in inches, and a 15-70 mph digital range.
