Jugs Changeup Baseball Pitching Machine

The Jugs Changeup Baseball Pitching Machine is a single-wheel pitching machine that throws fastballs up to 70 mph and changeups as low as 44 mph, switched with one click of a remote. The coach can change speeds near the machine, beside the hitter or from the dugout, and the remote reaches up to 300 feet. Hitters see each pitch from a realistic 64 in. delivery height, on the downward plane a live pitcher gives them. At 75 lb., the machine rolls on its 16 in. pneumatic tire to any spot on the field. It is built for high school, college and travel ball hitters.

One button drops the speed, and the hitter gets no warning. The remote sits on a keychain and works virtually anywhere on the field, so the coach watching the swing decides what the next pitch will be.

Underneath the changeup circuit, the Changeup Baseball is a 75 lb single-wheel machine on a 16 in. pneumatic tire with a speed range of 15-70 mph, the same weight, tire and range as the BP1. The swivel base gives 360-degree movement for fly balls, pop-ups and ground balls. It runs on a standard 110V AC outlet, with the speed set on a dial on its digital readout panel.

How it fools a hitter

How it works

What the Changeup Button Does
Fastballs and changeups switch by remote control while the session is running. The hitter sees the same wheel, the same chute and the same arm slot, and gets a pitch 26 mph slower. Nothing about the machine gives the pitch away in advance, the way a real changeup works and a fixed-speed machine cannot.
70 mph to 44 mph
A Remote on a Keychain
The speed change comes from a handheld remote carried by the coach. It works virtually anywhere on the field: near the machine, by the hitter, or even in the dugout, up to 300 ft away on a CR2032 3V battery. That places the decision with whoever is watching the swing. A coach standing behind the cage can call fastball, fastball, changeup on the spot, with no walk to the machine to telegraph it.
Anywhere on the field
A 64 in. Ball Delivery Height
A 64 in. realistic ball delivery height means hitters see the pitch thrown from a realistic release point. Release height decides whether a hitter tracks a ball that comes at him on a plane or one that floats out of a low box. A vertical T-handle tilts the chute to set pitch height, so the same release can work the top or the bottom of the zone.
64 in.
The 360-Degree Swivel Base
The base rotates a full circle, so the machine that just threw batting practice pivots and puts balls in the air. The design gives 360-degree movement for fly balls, pop-ups and ground balls, which keeps outfielders working. Combined with the changeup circuit, the same base feeds a deep fly at 70 mph and a short one at 44.

How to use it

Jugs Changeup Baseball Pitching Machine, remote changeup in use
The changeup

A 26 mph drop with no warning

The machine throws up to 70 mph fastballs and changeups at speeds as low as 44 mph. The gap between those two numbers is 26 mph, and the machine crosses it at the touch of a button with the hitter still in the box. The machine was built for that drill: a hitter who has learned to square up 70 mph has to hold his weight back when 44 arrives, with no windup, grip or arm speed to read it off. Set the fastball between 60 and 70 mph and the drop to the changeup takes about 8 seconds, and it lands between pitches with the hitter none the wiser.

  • Fastballs up to 70 mph
  • Changeups as low as 44 mph
  • Full speed range 15-70 mph
  • Remote reaches up to 300 ft from the machine

Release and base

Release height and a swivel base

The 64 in. ball delivery height lets hitters see the pitch thrown from a realistic release point, and 64 in. is a shade over five feet, which puts the ball on a downward plane into the zone. The base under it swivels 360 degrees, so between rounds of batting practice the same machine turns to the outfield and throws fly balls, pop-ups and ground balls. At 75 lb. on a 16 in. pneumatic tire, one coach rolls it to wherever that drill needs to happen. Overall it stands 68 in. tall and 47 in. wide, and the tire runs at 16 to 17 psi.

Frequently asked questions

26 mph. Fastballs run up to 70 mph and changeups as low as 44 mph, with nothing for the hitter to read in advance.
With a one-click remote control. You can change speeds virtually anywhere on the field, near the machine, by the hitter or in the dugout, up to 300 ft away. The remote runs on a CR2032 3V battery, and the machine reaches changeup speed in about 8 seconds.

It stands 68 in. tall and 47 in. wide and weighs 75 lb. You simply roll it to your preferred position on the field on its 16 in. pneumatic tire; that matches the BP1, and the mini3, BP2, SP3 and BP3 all weigh more.
Baseballs, JUGS Pearl, JUGS Sting-Free, JUGS Lite-Flite and JUGS Softie baseballs and JUGS Bulldog polyballs, including high-quality leather baseballs.
A standard 110V AC outlet. The 90-volt motor draws 3 amps, and an extension cord of 25 ft or less should be 3-wire 16 AWG or heavier.
No, it throws fastballs and changeups, and its job is speed change. For named breaking pitches the mini3 throws 8 pre-set pitches, the SP3 8 pitch types and the BP3 9 preset pitches with changeups included.
Yes. The 360-degree swivel base gives full movement for fly balls, pop-ups and ground balls. Because the changeup circuit also changes how hard the ball leaves the machine, the same base can throw at two different depths without being repositioned.
The machine comes with its remote control and three snap-in legs. Lift the base, insert each leg and press its snap button, tip the machine upright onto the three legs, then line the horizontal T-handle up over the red dot. Balls, an extension cord and a protective screen are separate purchases.
