The Hack Attack Baseball Pitching Machine is a high-velocity training system engineered for professional, collegiate, and elite amateur baseball programs.
Equipped with a tri-motor independent drive system, the Hack Attack replicates the release window and ball visibility of a live pitcher. It allows hitters to train against fastballs, curveballs, sliders, and split-fingers at velocities exceeding 100+ MPH. The heavy-duty tripod chassis ensures structural stability, while the pivoting throwing head supports full-field fungo drills, including 380-foot fly balls and grounders.
Pitch Dynamics & Three-Wheel Tech
- Breaking Pitch Calibration: Independent wheel-speed dials allow for precise control of horizontal and vertical break planes without adjusting the throwing head.
- Velocity Range: Variable speed control delivering fastballs at 100+ MPH and breaking pitches at relative competitive speeds.
- Three-Wheel Advantage: Provides three distinct points of contact on the ball for superior spin stability and accuracy compared to standard dual-wheel units.
- Visual Timing: Open-frame design allows hitters to track the ball through the entire feeding cycle, simulating live-arm timing cues.
Strike Zone Precision & Fungo
The Hack Attack utilizes mechanical adjustment handles for micro-calibration within the strike zone:
- Vertical Elevation: Integrated adjustment handle raises or lowers pitch height instantly between deliveries.
- Horizontal Calibration: Move the pitch inside or outside across the plate without repositioning the tripod base.
- Defensive Drills: Throwing head pivots 360° to deliver fly balls up to 380 feet, slicing line drives, and catcher pop-up drills.
- Recovery Time: High-torque DC motors provide a ~5-second wheel recovery for high-frequency repetition.
Build Quality & Engineering
- Drive Motors: Three variable-speed motors driving 14-inch indestructible concave throwing wheels.
- Chassis Build: Powder-coated, rust-proof steel frame with a heat-treated alloy aluminum throwing head casting.
- Recoil Absorption: Heavy-duty construction designed to absorb mechanical recoil for improved pitch-to-pitch consistency.
- Portability: Integrated heavy-duty transport wheels allow the unit to be rolled by one person despite its industrial weight.
- Ready to Use: Arrives fully assembled and tested for immediate operation.
Media Compatibility & Maintenance
- Standard Media: Optimized for 9-inch regulation leather baseballs and dimpled pitching machine balls.
- Training Media: Compatible with Wiffle® balls and soft-compression practice balls.
- Usage Note: Synthetic leather balls are not recommended as the covering can leave a residue on the polyurethane wheels, affecting accuracy.
- Wheel Guarding: Front guards prevent throwing wheels from contacting dirt or gravel on field surfaces.
