Jugs BP3 Softball Pitching Machine

The Jugs BP3 Softball Pitching Machine is a three-wheel softball pitching machine built for a true game-like experience, throwing eight pitches from 45-75 mph with remote-control changeups. A coach changes speeds from behind the plate or at the machine with one touch of the included keychain remote. Automatic pitching circuits run programmed fastball and changeup sequences that simulate real at-bats. Risers, drop balls, curveballs and screwballs sit on the Select-A-Pitch dial, and Pinpoint pitch targeting gives true zone control on two axes. A large 3 in. LCD shows the speed for quick, accurate adjustments.

A coach can let the circuit run the at-bat or take it over from behind the plate on the pitch he chooses, so the hitter gets a sequence instead of a stack of identical reps. The SP3 Softball throws at the same 45-75 mph without the circuits or the remote changeup.

Eight pitches sit on the Select-A-Pitch dial: fastballs and changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs, right- and left-handed screwballs, risers and drop balls. Underneath, three 1/4 HP motors turn three Grip-Tite 12 in. pneumatic tires with a 20-year lifespan, and the 149 lb. machine rides a transport cart that tilts and rolls on and off the field. The Long Feed Chute and its Always-See-The-Ball delivery system come standard.

Inside the BP3 Softball

How it works

The BP3 Softball and the SP3 Softball share a 45-75 mph range and Pinpoint targeting; the BP3 adds changeups, circuits and a 3 in. LCD.

Automatic Pitching Circuits

Automatic pitching circuits on the BP3 Softball run programmed fastball and changeup sequences that simulate real at-bats: circuit 1 switches every 10 seconds, and circuits 2 and 3 switch at random. The machine runs the sequence itself: the pattern of speeds arrives without a coach standing at a button, and a hitter who tries to guess the next pitch off the coach's body language has nothing to read. The hitter has to hold her weight back on a changeup she did not call, then get the barrel going again on the fastball behind it. Among the Jugs softball machines it is the one that runs programmed sequences; the Changeup Super Softball switches speeds only when someone presses the button.

Sequences, not pitches

Changeups on a Keychain

When the coach wants the call, speeds change from behind the plate or at the machine with the touch of a button on the included keychain remote, which works up to 100 ft from the machine. From behind the plate a coach sees the front shoulder and the hands, and can call the changeup after the hitter has committed. On the BP3 the changeup is one behaviour inside an eight-pitch dial, so a curveball round and a changeup round come off the same machine without a setup change.

Keychain remote

The Long Feed Chute

The BP3 Softball comes standard with the Long Feed Chute, and its Always-See-The-Ball delivery system lets hitters track pitches from release to contact. A longer chute gives her the ball earlier in its path, closer to how a windmill delivery hands the ball over.

Always-See-The-Ball

Grip-Tite tires and a 3 in. screen

Three 1/4 HP motors turn three Grip-Tite 12 in. pneumatic tires with a 20-year lifespan, held at 24 psi. Those are the middle-sized Grip-Tite wheels in the softball line, between the mini3's 9 in. and the Changeup Super's 16 in. Above them, a large 3 in. LCD display shows the speed. With a circuit running, the screen tells a coach at the back of the cage which speed is coming next.

At-bat simulation

Let the Circuit Run the At-Bat

Set the circuit and step back. The programmed fastball and changeup sequences simulate real at-bats, a different job from throwing a good pitch. The hitter has to reset between pitches, the way she does in a game. Circuit 1 switches between fastball and changeup every 10 seconds, circuits 2 and 3 switch at random, and the 3 in. LCD keeps the current speed visible from where the coach is standing.

Pitch selection

The Select-A-Pitch dial and Pinpoint

The Select-A-Pitch dial holds eight pitches on the BP3 Softball: fastballs and changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs, right- and left-handed screwballs, risers and drop balls. Each one is a dial position, so a curveball round and a riser round come off the machine without a setup change. Alongside the dial, Pinpoint horizontal and vertical micro-adjustments handle zone control, and vertical and horizontal macro adjustment levers make the big moves for deep fly balls, grounders and full-field practice.

Defense and feed

Fly balls and blocking drills

The BP3 Softball is built for fly ball drills, defensive drills and blocking drills, so the machine that ran the hitting period turns and runs the catcher's period. For blocking work a catcher needs balls in the dirt at a repeatable speed and angle, and Pinpoint's vertical adjustment puts them there pitch after pitch. On the feed side it takes JUGS LeatherLast softballs, Sting-Free dimpled or seamed softballs, Lite-Flite softballs, polyballs and high-quality leather softballs.

It adds remote-control changeups, automatic pitching circuits, a large 3 in. LCD display and an eighth pitch on the dial, the changeup. Both machines run 45-75 mph and both use Pinpoint micro-adjustment. If nobody in your program needs a mid-round speed change, the SP3 does the pitch and location work.

Programmed fastball and changeup sequences that simulate real at-bats. Circuit 1 switches between fastball and changeup every 10 seconds, and circuits 2 and 3 switch between them at random. The hitter faces a pattern of speeds and never a single repeated pitch.

You change speeds from behind the plate or at the machine with the touch of a button on the included keychain remote, which works up to 100 ft away. The machine takes about 6 seconds to change speeds completely and switches without giving the hitter a visual cue. Either the coach calls it or the automatic circuit does.

Fastballs, changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs, right- and left-handed screwballs, risers and drop balls, each a position on the Select-A-Pitch dial.

Yes. It is built for fly ball drills, defensive drills and blocking drills. Blocking work is where the Pinpoint vertical adjustment matters, because a catcher needs the ball in the dirt in the same place repeatedly.
