As athletes and coaches, we at Unique Sports have years of experience, not only selling baseball and softball pitching machines, but practicing and teaching with pitching machines ourselves. 

We know pitching machines and we know how to find the perfect pitching machine for you. Wheel Style vs. Arm Style Pitching Machines? One Wheel vs. Two wheel Pitching Machines? We are here to answer ANY question and find a machine for ANY situation. 

Ultimately, finding the perfect pitching machine for developing hitters will be determined by a number of factors but don’t let that stop you from taking a look at one of our TOP FIVE most popular pitching machines as a good starting point for pitching machine shopping!
