Pitching machine accessories are very important for anyone using either a baseball pitching machine or a softball pitching machine. This article will explain the many accessories available.

Auto feeders make it possible to practice by yourself. Auto feeders normally come with 6 second intervals. May be used with any machine. You can get auto feeders that feed a different amount of balls. Auto feeders are availabe for your baseball pitching machine, softball pitching machine or both. They are available with either a cordless remote or a cord remote on/off switch. A power generator is an electric power source for your machine in locations where there is no electric outlet. A pitch selector allows you to feed fastballs and off speed pitches without the batter knowing which pitch is coming.

The selector is set up for fastballs on one side and off speed pitches on the other side. The pitch selector allows for ample timing of when the ball will be pitched. Covers help protect your machine. Dimpled balls are the best baseballs and softballs for your auto feeder. Dimpled balls will pitch more consistently than leather balls because there is a consistent surface on the ball. Also leather balls because of the abrasive nature of the seams, will wear out your machine wheels faster. A machine caddy makes an easy transport cart for your machine. Batting cages or backdrops are very useful for anyone using a machine when they are alone.

I hope this article will help you when you are deciding which accessories you should use with your machine.
