Jugs | MVP Combo
Fifty-six pounds is the number that puts the MVP Combo ahead of the other two combo machines here. Jugs states that weighing just 56 lbs, it is easy for one person to set up, move and store, and it rolls on a 16-inch non-marking pneumatic tire. The BP1 Combo weighs 75 lbs and the M1300 weighs 127 lbs. If the machine has to come out of a shed, cross a field and go back in twice a week with one coach on duty, that spread is the whole decision.
The MVP Combo throws up to 60 mph on digital speed control, and Jugs does not state a single bottom figure for it: the specification block on the manufacturer's page reads 15-60 mph while the feature copy on the same page reads 20-60 mph. Until Jugs settles that, up to 60 mph is the figure published here. Dual leg sets come in the box, long straight legs for baseball and short curved legs for softball, and the machine switches between the two sports on the same frame. It runs on standard 110V electric power, plugged into a wall outlet or connected to a portable generator. The MVP Combo is commonly used by pitching machine leagues and youth leagues.

Closer look
Fifty-six pounds against 75 for the BP1 Combo and 127 for the M1300. Jugs states that weighing just 56 lbs, the MVP Combo is easy for one person to set up, move and store, and the 16-inch non-marking pneumatic tire is what it travels on. For a pitching machine league that runs games on three fields and stores everything in one shed, the machine that one volunteer can handle is the machine that actually gets used. The tire is the same 16-inch diameter the BP1 Combo runs, so the MVP Combo carries a smaller load on the same size wheel.
The MVP Combo is the machine Jugs names for pitching machine leagues and youth leagues, and the speed range is why. Up to 60 mph is a pitch a ten-year-old can time and an eight-year-old can survive, and digital speed control means the number is set and read, never guessed at. Dual leg sets cover both sports off one frame: long straight legs for baseball, short curved legs for softball. The published ball list is the widest of the three combos, running from regulation baseballs and 11 in. and 12 in. softballs through to tennis balls.
Compare
Three machines that throw both sports. The MVP Combo is the lightest at 56 lbs and the slowest at up to 60 mph, which is exactly what a pitching machine league wants.
