Our Pitching Machines
The Baseball Zone is equipped with one Iron Mikes - the newest and best pitching machines available on the market. These arm-style machines are hopper-fed with no need for manual feeding and pitch up to 600 balls in the course of one hour. With each pitch you see the machine's arm wind up and release the ball. It is the realistic nature of the machine that allows you to practice the same fundamentals in the batting cages as you use on the field.
