Our baseball team is used to overcoming obstacles, but it was impossible to replicate consistent pitching on a daily level. That is, without a pitching machine. While I did my best (as coach) with regular soft-toss batting practices, it left players woefully unprepared for competitive at bats. Throughout the season, I saw our players make great strides as pitchers and fielders, but the lack of a pitching machine left us with a lackluster offense. The Jugs M6000 Lite-Flight Pitching Machine would have a game-changing impact in all aspects of our practice, both in the batting cages and in the field. With this pitching machine, I will be able to work with our batters on a daily basis (without wearing out our pitchers). Last year, we celebrated a playoff appearance. This year - with your help - we aim to lift the championship trophy.
