    Muhl II Pitching Machine

         

 
Timing!
The main reason most coaches do not use pitching machines for regular batting practice.

With out some form of arm motion or rhythm, a hitter typically will pick up the bad habit of rushing their mechanics and load prematurely or improperly.

With one simple fix, our Muhl II pitching machine gives the hitter the timing mechanism needed to develop smooth hitting mechanics.

The  Muhl II’s
seamless ball feeding chute gives the hitter a way to track the ball and load properly before the ball hits the wheels. Whether hitting 100 mph
fastballs,  70mph breaking balls or 55 mph rise balls.

Each Muhl II comes with your choice of softball or baseball chute.
 

The Muhl II Pitching Machine will throw both baseballs and softballs. With a top speed of 100 MPH. Easily adjust from fastballs to curve balls to sliders. This pitching machine has the the speeds and versatility to be used by any skill level, beginner to pro.

 

 

  • Throws Baseball or Softballs.
  • Leather or dimple balls
  • Speeds up to 100 MPH
  • Fastballs, Curveballs, Sliders
  • Use for infield and outfield drills.
  • Center-of-Gravity design allows full left-right rotation and 120° vertical pivot
  • Quick adjustment to move from pitch to pitch and from drill to drill
  • Built-in steel transport wheels and quick-release legs for easy mobility
  • Steel adjustment handles
  • High-strength steel construction with a powder-coat finish

By seeing the ball roll around and into the wheels, a hitter can establish a better sense of timing and load properly.

*

No more "Rushing" the mechanics.

*

The feeder chute attaches easily and can rotate to your desired angle.

What makes the Muhl II pitching machine better than others?

There are five important factors to consider when evaluating a pitching machine:

  1. The type of construction.
       The Muhl II pitching machine is made of solid steel. There are no sand-castings or plastic on the frames  or stands.
  2. The motors and electronics.
       Muhl Tech uses only high-quality permanent magnet DC motors and solid-state electronic controls.
  3. The wheels.
        As explained below, Muhl II wheels are the most effective design.
  4. Ease of use.
        Muhl II is simple to set up, easy to adjust, easy to transport.
  5. Capacity.
        Our machine is suited for players of all levels, priced accordingly.
    We even include both baseball and softball legs with unit. No conversion kit to buy.

ACCURACY - The Muhl II pitching machine wheels are solid, die-cast, flat-faced polyurethan treads, molded onto a machined aluminum core. The tread is one inch thick. The result is better accuracy, more speed, and better consistency than competitive brands.

How are Muhl II wheels better than the JUGS or ATEC wheels?

JUGS wheels are pneumatic (air-filled) tires, mounted on a stamped, metal rim, (the type that are used on trailer wheels). Stamped rims do not run as true as machined rims. The contact surface of the pitching wheel is convex (rounded). The faster the JUGS wheel rotates, the more convex, and therefore, less accurate it becomes. JUGS wheels have more side to side run-out and more radial run-out, which leads to less accuracy. Maintaining proper air pressure is also a big concern with pneumatic tires.

Muhl II pitching machine wheels are machined and die-cast, so they start out with a precise, consistent shape, they maintain their shape regardless of the speed, and they are precision balanced to within 1 gram per foot. This makes Muhl II wheels run smooth and true.

ATEC pitching machine wheels are made with a concave tread, molded onto a solid rim. However, because of the deep concave, at the center of the concave (where the most compression occurs) the tread is less than 3/8 inch thick. This design does not provide enough compression to accommodate a hard baseball. The effect of this would be excessive flexing of the motor shaft inside the motor, and therefore, premature motor failure, less accuracy, and less consistency. If you ask ATEC, they will tell you that they do NOT recommend using real leather baseballs in their Casey machines.

Muhl II wheels with their 1" thick tread are designed to throw real leather balls (and dimpled balls).
