BatSpeed Features Seven Iron
Mike™ and ATEC® Pitching Machines
IRON MIKE® |
Hitting is all about timing. You must have the proper
timing to know when to start your swing and when to shift
your weight. This is achieved by watching the pitcher's
arm and release of the ball. An arm-style pitching machine
is the only type of pitching machine that gives you that
same sense of timing.
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. Because of
this, the Iron Mike™ arm-style pitching machines are the
favorite machines of professional players and coaches worldwide.
