Jugs Michele Smith Softball Backyard Package

The Jugs Michele Smith Softball Backyard Package is a fastpitch batting cage and pitching machine setup for the backyard: the three-wheel mini3 Softball Pitching Machine, a 55 ft net with its frame, a C-shaped protective screen and 2 dozen LeatherLast softballs. One machine throws risers, drops, fastballs, curves and screwballs at up to 70 mph, the movement a fastpitch hitter has to read. The net runs 12 ft wide and 12 ft high. The screen shields the pitcher or coach feeding balls.

The package holds the mini3 Softball Pitching Machine, the #10 Backyard Net in #42 twisted knotted black polyethylene at 55 ft long by 12 ft wide by 12 ft high, the Frame, the Protector Blue Series C-Shaped protective screen, 2 dozen LeatherLast softballs, and the Backdrop and Pitcher's Trainer.

The machine is the mini3 Softball, with a 30-70 mph range. The package suits backyard players, youth leagues, high schools and colleges. The mini3 plugs into a standard 110V AC outlet and carries a 2-year guarantee on parts, normal wear and factory defects.

Net, machine and screen

How it works

A heavier net, a three-wheel softball machine and a C-shaped screen make up the working parts of the package.

Net #10 in #42 twine
A cage net carries two separate numbers, and they answer two different questions. The first, #10, is the net designation, and it tells you which frame the net hangs on. The second, #42, is the twine size: the gauge of the cord the net is knotted from. Twine numbers run on an ascending scale, so a higher number is a heavier cord; the Jugs netting range carries #27, #42, #60 and #96. This package uses #42, one grade up from the #27 twine on the BP2 and Hit at Home baseball cages.
#10 net, #42 twine
The Machine: mini3 Softball
Item A is the mini3 Softball Pitching Machine at 30-70 mph, throwing fastballs, right- and left-handed curves and screwballs, risers and drops. It runs three 1/4 HP motors on patented Grip-Tite 9 in. non-marking pneumatic tires and carries 7 preset pitches on a Select-A-Pitch dial. At 95 lbs. it stands 36 in. tall and 32 in. wide, and Pinpoint vertical micro-adjustment moves the pitch up or down the zone.
30-70 mph
The Screen: Blue Series C-Shape
Item D is the Protector Blue Series C-Shaped protective screen, and it shields pitchers and coaches. It stands in front of the mini3, where the machine's two front legs face the screen and the batter.
C-shaped
The Balls: LeatherLast Softballs
Item E is 2 dozen LeatherLast softballs, which is 24 balls. The seams are Kevlar stitched with Never-Break Seam Technology, and the seam carries its own 1-year guarantee. LeatherLast is on the mini3 Softball's recommended ball list, next to Sting-Free, Lite-Flite and Bulldog polyballs.

How to use it

Jugs softball backyard package, the six package components
Contents

The contents and the machine setup

The contents run A through F, and the machine is where setup starts. Insert the mini3's three legs into the base and tighten the leg bolts, then lift it upright with two people. Two legs go in front, facing the pitching screen and the batter, and one leg faces back toward the operator. Keep the Grip-Tite tires at 20 psi so the pitch stays consistent from session to session.

Six items One order Fastpitch build
Jugs softball backyard package, 12 ft net and steel frame
Net and frame

A wider and taller net for fastpitch

The net in this package is a foot wider and a foot higher than the 11 ft BP2 and Hit at Home baseball cages, and ten feet shorter than the 65 ft BP2 cage. That shape suits what a fastpitch machine does: a riseball climbs and a drop falls, so the ceiling and the width carry the movement while the pitcher's circle sits closer than a baseball mound. The net is designated #10, knotted from #42 twisted black polyethylene twine and paired with the steel frame in item C. The polyethylene twine takes on no water, which suits wet or humid climates.

The mini3 Softball challenges hitters with fastballs, right- and left-handed curves and screwballs, risers and drops up to 70 mph.

Compare

How it compares

The softball package is the fastpitch build: a 12 ft x 12 ft net in #42 twine, the heaviest twine of the four packages, and a machine that throws risers and drops.
