500 obo will get photos tomorrow afternoon. I used it for fly balls teaching my son he's progress beyond its capabilities for that and I personally don't like it as a baseball pitching machine. It does not have the softball attachment but they are easily found. Text me at 6153063889. It will be mid afternoon before I can get photos. No balls come with it.

I think it's rated for 70mph using the dimple balls for jugs. But I'm not 100% on that. I think later in life pitching machines are fine for hitting. But for the first four or five years I think kids need to learn to pick up the ball out of the hand... Just personal preference. If things go as planned I will be having a hitting barn built in two years and at that time I will go to an Atec pro...

I wish i could have found mine for $500 when I was looking for one. I think I paid $1200 for mine. (sold mine 5 years later on ebay for $900)
I bought my Jugs JR when my son was playing baseball. I had it set up in batting cage behind the house. We were able use it at different speeds until he was 14 because the speed was fairly consistent with the age group. I would even haul it to practices when I was coaching.
As he got older I found all you had to do was move it closer to the batter to get similar reaction time to faster pitches.
If you stick the ball in the cuff and release it with out warning it is difficult for the little guys to pick it up. I found all you have to do is take your glove hand and simulate a pitching motion as you release the ball into the sleeve (with you other hand). They don't have any problems picking it up then.
That is a really good price.

Good price if I needed it. You might try LSN or Craigslist and get more lookers.
