Black Flame Ultimate Pitching Machine

A great entry level pitching machine, introducing the Louisville Slugger Black Flame Pitching Machine. The Black Flame is the ultimate multi-sport training aid for coaches and players. It throws any type of ball and is ideal for use in baseball, softball, tennis, cricket, volleyball and soccer. Extremely accurate, the Black Flame simplifies your training by throwing different types of pitches including ground balls, fly-balls and straight pitches between 18 and 60 miles per hour. This machine is completely portable, mechanical, and easy to use. Take it anywhere, indoors or out, and throw perfect pitches without the need of battery packs or cumbersome electric cords. This is the Official pitching machine of Babe Ruth League and Pony Baseball and Softball.

Consistent & Accurate

The UPM lays consistent strikes right down the plate. It can throw a baseball as slow as 18 mph and any speed from there to 60 mph. You pick the speed setting. It can also throw a consistent 10 to 12 foot arch softball slow pitch. The UPM is Little League-approved and hundreds of leagues, including Dizzy Dean and Dixie, have changed their rules, making the Ultimate Pitching Machine mandatory to use in Coach's Pitch games in place of the coach.
