JUGS BP1 Combo Pitching Machine for Baseball and Softball

$2,094.95

JUGS BP1 Combo Pitching Machine for Baseball and Softball

The JUGS BP1 Combo Pitching Machine is one machine for baseball and softball, and it comes with the parts to do both: a 9-inch baseball chute with long straight legs, and a 12-inch softball chute with short curved legs. A bright LED readout lets you set the exact speed you want from 15 to 70 mph, and pitches come from a realistic release point and arrive in virtually the same location each time, so hitters can step into the box knowing the next pitch will be a strike.

That consistency makes the BP1 Combo a natural fit for youth baseball and softball. Pitching machine leagues, high schools and youth leagues use it for batting practice, and its 360 degree swivel base makes it just as useful for grounders, deep fly balls and catcher pop-ups. At 75 lbs with legs that come off, one person can load it into the trunk of most cars and set it up at the field.

One Machine for Baseball and Softball

Many families and programs need pitching for both sports, whether that is a household with a baseball player and a softball player or a league that runs both. The BP1 Combo handles that without a second machine. It includes a 9-inch baseball chute and a 12-inch softball chute, plus two sets of legs: long straight legs for baseball and short curved legs for softball.

The legs are what put the release point where it belongs for each sport. With the right height legs for baseball and softball included, pitches come in on a game-like angle in both sports, which helps hitters build timing and swing mechanics that carry over to games. Switching between baseball and softball means changing the chute and the legs, so the same machine can run a baseball practice in the afternoon and a softball practice that evening.

Consistent Strikes at the Exact Speed You Choose

The BP1 Combo uses a digital speed control with a bright LED readout that shows exact pitch speed from 15 to 70 mph. You decide which speed is best for your players. Set a number, and the machine throws at that speed, pitch after pitch.

For hitters, consistent strikes at a known speed are what make machine batting practice productive. Instead of chasing balls out of the zone, a hitter gets swing after swing at a hittable pitch, which is how good mechanics get built. Coaches can start a young player at a comfortable speed and move it up as she or he gets on time, and older players can work closer to the top of the range. The same machine covers a wide span of ages and skill levels simply by changing the number on the readout.

Built for Beginners and Machine-Pitch Leagues

The BP1 Combo is a very good fit for young players learning to hit. Because pitches arrive in virtually the same location each time, the challenge of hitting gets a little easier and a lot more fun. Young hitters get more contact, more confidence and more swings that teach them something, which keeps them coming back to practice.

Pitching machine leagues, high schools and youth leagues all use the BP1 Combo, and its stated skill levels run from youth leagues and pitching machine leagues through high school and college. For a league that pitches by machine in games, practicing against the same type of delivery during the week lets players see exactly what they will face on game day.

Realistic Release Point and Game-Like Angle

Where a pitch comes from matters as much as how fast it travels. The BP1 Combo's adjustable release point mimics the downward plane of a live pitcher, so the ball comes in on an angle that resembles game pitching rather than a flat line. Hitters training against that plane learn to match their swing to the pitch they will actually see. The included legs set that height for each sport, which is why both sets come in the box.

Single-Wheel Design and 16-Inch Pneumatic Tire

The BP1 Combo uses a single-wheel design, a simple mechanism that reliably throws both baseballs and softballs with accuracy. The 16-inch non-marking pneumatic tire is built for consistent spin and durability, so pitches stay predictable across long practices and full seasons of team use.

Defensive Drills with the 360 Degree Swivel Base

The swivel base rotates a full 360 degrees, so you can mix fly balls, grounders and pop-ups into practice without repositioning the machine. Angle it down for infield ground balls, up for deep fly balls to the outfield, or straight up for catcher pop-ups. Machine-fed fielding gives every player the same ball rep after rep, which makes it easy for a coach to see and correct footwork, glove position and throws.

Ball Compatibility

The BP1 Combo throws a wide range of balls for both sports:

  • Baseballs, including Sting-Free baseballs in dimpled and seamed styles
  • 11-inch or 12-inch softballs, including Sting-Free softballs in dimpled and seamed styles
  • Lite-Flite baseballs and softballs
  • SOFTIE baseballs and softballs
  • JUGS Pearl baseballs
  • JUGS LeatherLast softballs
  • JUGS BULLDOG baseballs and softballs
  • Tennis balls

For baseball batting practice, Sting-Free Dimpled Baseballs and Sting-Free Realistic-Seam Baseballs are common choices, and Pearl Leather Baseballs give a leather-covered option. For lighter, lower-impact sessions with younger players, Lite-Flite Baseballs are a good match. On the softball side, Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs pair with the included 12-inch softball chute.

Portable Setup and Power Options

The BP1 Combo weighs 75 lbs and the legs detach, so one person can remove the legs and load the machine into the trunk of most cars. Setup at the field is a matter of attaching the legs for the sport you are practicing, fitting the matching chute and plugging in.

It runs on standard 110V AC power. For fields without an outlet, it is also compatible with a Yamaha EF2000iS V2 generator or the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack.

Who the JUGS BP1 Combo Pitching Machine Is For

  • Pitching machine leagues that want players practicing against the same type of machine they see in games
  • Youth baseball and softball teams that need consistent strikes for batting practice
  • High school and college programs that want one machine for both hitting and defensive drills
  • Families with both a baseball player and a softball player who want one machine for the backyard cage
  • Coaches who move between baseball and softball seasons and want to carry one machine

If your team plays softball only and wants pitch types like risers and drops, the JUGS BP1 Softball Only Pitching Machine is built for that, and the JUGS Changeup Super Softball Pitching Machine adds remote-controlled fastball and changeup switching.

Training Applications

  • Confidence rounds for young hitters at a comfortable speed, with every pitch in the same spot
  • Speed progressions: move the readout up a few mph at a time as a hitter gets on time
  • Machine-pitch league prep at the speed used in games
  • Bunting practice at lower speeds, where a consistent pitch lets players focus on bat angle
  • Infield ground ball rounds with the swivel base angled down
  • Outfield rounds with deep fly balls that make players go back on the ball
  • Catcher pop-up rounds
  • Back-to-back baseball and softball sessions by switching chutes and legs

Anyone feeding balls into the machine should work behind a protective screen, such as the JUGS Instant Screen. A Back-Saver Portable Ball Basket keeps practice balls within reach of the feeder.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I switch the BP1 Combo between baseball and softball?

Swap the chute and the legs. Use the 9-inch baseball chute with the long straight legs for baseball, and the 12-inch softball chute with the short curved legs for softball. Both sets come with the machine.

Can the BP1 Combo throw 11-inch softballs?

11-inch softballs are on the machine's list of compatible balls. The softball chute included in the box is the 12-inch chute, so if your players use 11-inch softballs, check chute fit with us before you order.

Is the BP1 Combo good for young players and machine-pitch leagues?

Yes. Pitching machine leagues and youth leagues use it. Pitches arrive in virtually the same location each time and the speed can be set as low as 15 mph, which makes hitting easier and more fun for beginners while still reaching 70 mph for older players.

How heavy is it, and will it fit in my car?

The machine weighs 75 lbs. The legs detach, so one person can remove them and load the machine into the trunk of most cars.

Can I run it at a field without power?

Yes. Besides standard 110V AC power, the BP1 Combo is compatible with a Yamaha EF2000iS V2 generator or the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack.

Does the JUGS Softball Transport Cart work with the BP1 Combo?

The JUGS Softball Transport Cart is designed for the BP1 Softball Only and Changeup Super Softball machines, not the BP1 Combo. The Combo is built to be carried instead, with detachable legs and a 75 lb weight that one person can manage.
