Jugs BP3 Baseball Pitching Machine w/ Changeup

The Jugs BP3 Baseball Pitching Machine w/ Changeup is a three-wheel pitching machine built for game-like hitting, with nine preset pitches from 40-90 mph and a changeup on a handheld remote. A coach switches from fastball to changeup at the touch of a button, and the hitter gets no cue that the speed has dropped. Three preset hitting circuits run that fastball and changeup mix on their own. Curves, sliders and cutters come from either side on the Select-A-Pitch dial. Pinpoint micro-adjustment moves each pitch left, right, up or down with a turn of the wrist, while a large 3 in. LCD shows the speed.

Eight of the nine pitches on the BP3's Select-A-Pitch dial are pitches the SP3 throws too. The ninth is the changeup, and the handheld remote or the controls on the machine call it between pitches while the dial stays on the pitch you selected. The hitter watches the same three wheels turning and gets something slower than the last one, the same deception a live pitcher uses.

The nine preset pitches are fastballs and changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs and sliders, right- and left-handed cutters and split-finger fastballs, across a 40-90 mph range. Three 1/4 HP motors drive patented Grip-Tite 12 in. non-marking pneumatic tires, the machine weighs 140 lbs, and it runs on 110-volt AC or the Bluetti AC70P Portable Power Supply. The Long Feed Chute is part of the Always See The Ball delivery, so the hitter tracks the ball into the wheels.

Inside the BP3

How it works

The BP3 shares its three-wheel platform with the SP3 and adds a changeup, a handheld remote and automatic hitting circuits.

A changeup on command

The changeup is the ninth preset pitch, and the handheld remote or the controls on the machine call it at the push of a button, between pitches, while the dial stays where it was. The hitter gets no cue, with no arm slowing down and no grip to read.

Push of a button

The Select-A-Pitch dial

The dial holds nine preset pitches: fastballs and changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs and sliders, right- and left-handed cutters and split-finger fastballs. Right- and left-handed versions matter more than the raw count. A right-handed hitter reads a right-handed slider moving away and a left-handed slider moving in, and those are two different at-bats. Nine positions cover both handedness for three breaking pitches, plus the fastball, the split-finger and the changeup.

9 preset pitches

A large 3 in. LCD display

A large 3 in. LCD readout shows the set speed across the 40-90 mph range, and the speed itself is set on the speed dial, so a coach reads the number straight off the machine. The handheld remote works up to 100 ft from the machine and flashes a green LED when it fires. A coach can stand behind the screen, or out by the cage door, and still call the changeup.

40-90 mph

What the BP3 will feed

The BP3 throws baseballs, JUGS Pearl, JUGS Youth League Pearl, Sting-Free Baseballs, Maximum Velocity Sting-Free Baseballs, Lite-Flite Baseballs, Softie Baseballs and Bulldog Polyballs. Sting-Free comes in dimpled or seamed style, and one-ounce polyball baseballs and tennis balls feed as well. One machine covers a round with regulation baseballs and a round with light training balls.

Deception

Switching Speeds Without the Hitter Knowing

The BP3 instantly switches speeds without the hitter knowing, replicating real pitcher deception with a handheld remote. The remote stays with the coach, so the decision to throw the changeup is made after the hitter has already set his weight. Three preset hitting circuits take the coach out of it: circuit 1 alternates fastball and changeup every 10 seconds, and circuits 2 and 3 switch between them at random.

Pitch selection

Pitch type and location set apart

The dial holds fastballs and changeups, right- and left-handed curveballs and sliders, right- and left-handed cutters and split-finger fastballs. Nine positions, one more than the SP3, and the extra one is the changeup. Location is handled separately: Pinpoint micro-adjustment fine-tunes pitch location left, right, up or down with a simple turn of the wrist, and vertical and horizontal macro adjustment levers make the bigger moves. Pitch type, speed and location are three settings a coach changes independently, and that lets one machine run a corner drill and a timing drill in the same session.

The platform

A three-wheel platform on 12 in. tires

Under the changeup circuit the BP3 is the same class of machine as the SP3. Three 1/4 HP motors, one per wheel, drive patented Grip-Tite 12 in. non-marking pneumatic tires, a tire size the BP3 shares with the SP3. Cast aluminum and steel carry it to 140 lbs, standing 72 in. tall and 47 in. wide. Quick-Snap leg attachment needs no T-handle or leg clamp, and full 360-degree rotation turns the BP3 into a defensive machine for catcher pop-up drills, grounders and deep fly balls.
