Jugs PS50 Baseball/Softball Pitching Machine

The Jugs PS50 Baseball/Softball Pitching Machine is the introductory-level Jugs pitching machine, throwing JUGS practice baseballs and 11 in. or 12 in. softballs from 15-50 mph off a digital readout. Fifteen at the bottom is slow enough for a first machine at-bat. Fifty at the top puts a full-size ball in the zone as a fastball or a slowpitch arc. Two chutes and adjustable Quick-Snap legs come with it, so one machine covers baseball and both kinds of softball.

The PS50 weighs just 50 lbs, carries a grip-and-go handle and runs on a 110V AC outlet behind a 1/4 HP motor. Its pneumatic tire carries an average 20-year life expectancy, against 5 years for a solid tire, so the part that touches every pitch outlasts a long run of seasons.

Inside the PS50

How it works

A chute for each ball size
A combo machine needs two chutes for a plain mechanical reason. A 12 in. softball will not sit in a chute built to hold a baseball, and a baseball rolls loose in a chute built for a softball. Either way the ball meets the wheel at a slightly different point every time. The PS50 ships with both: a 9 in. chute for baseball and a 12 in. chute for fastpitch and slowpitch softball.
9 in. and 12 in.
A digital readout from 15-50 mph
The digital readout lets you easily set speeds across the 15-50 mph range, giving coaches and parents full control over training intensity. The number on the display is the number the hitter faces, so moving a nine-year-old from 25 to 30 mph is a recorded change. Fifty is the ceiling on this machine; the combo machines above it carry the range higher.
15-50 mph
Quick-Snap legs and a grip-and-go handle
At just 50 lbs with Quick-Snap legs and a grip-and-go handle, the PS50 is highly portable and quick to set up anywhere. Fifty pounds with a handle on it is a one-trip carry from a garage to a backyard net, and the Quick-Snap legs make that trip possible without tools. It arrives assembled for baseball, so the first session starts with the legs and the 9 in. chute already on.
50 lbs
A quiet motor and a long-life tire
The quiet 1/4 HP motor runs on a 110V AC outlet and draws up to 6 amps, and the Yamaha EF1000iS is the recommended generator for a field with no outlet. Keeping it at 20 psi holds every pitch to the same grip.

How to use it

Jugs PS50 Baseball/Softball Pitching Machine, baseball and softball chutes
Two sports

A chute sized for each sport

The PS50 comes with both chutes, sized to the ball each sport uses: 9 in. for baseball, 12 in. for fastpitch and slowpitch softball. Swapping the chute and resetting the adjustable legs turns a baseball machine into a softball machine, and the two together replicate authentic pitch angles and release points for each sport. A softball program and a baseball program can share one machine and one storage space.

  • 9 in. chute for baseball, included
  • 12 in. chute for fastpitch and slowpitch softball, included
  • Adjustable legs set the release point for each sport
  • Replicates authentic pitch angles for baseball and softball

Jugs PS50 Baseball/Softball Pitching Machine, digital speed readout
Speed

Speed set exactly

The digital readout turns 15-50 mph into a usable range and not a dial position somebody remembers wrong. It lets you easily set speeds up to 50 mph and gives coaches and parents full control over training intensity, and the machine is field-tested to deliver reliable and repeatable strikes for solo sessions or team drills. Inside that range the PS50 throws fastballs and slowpitch arcs.

Setup

Quick-Snap legs and a carry handle

The PS50 outweighs the Lite-Flite, Small-Ball and Toss machines and is still a single carry. The ball list covers Sting-Free dimpled or seam baseballs, Sting-Free dimpled or seam softballs, tennis balls, Lite-Flite baseballs and softballs, LeatherLast Softballs, JUGS Pearl and JUGS Youth League Pearl baseballs. Set up for baseball it stands 48 in. tall, drops to 32 in. on its softball legs, and spans 60 in. across the legs.
