It looks like a good option for the youth baseball organizations in Cuba.

Last pitch killed a squirrel

His opening sentence is about somebody not knowing shit. I'm in!

that thing looks like a deadly injury waiting to happen

I think it's good it's a little wild, in a baseball game, the pitcher won't pitch at the exact same place, they might even peg you.

Love the shredding “screee” sound with accompanying puff of smoke. Those balls aren’t going to last too long

It's really inconsistent in aiming, and it makes a weird sound, but other than that, great job dude!

That thing is wild as hell theres no way i would step up to bat that lol

deadly dangerous but good, and funny.

I love how accurate....and quiet it is.

Man this thread is savage. I want to see you scrubs build something like this xD

Looks good for training infield but not batting

Awesome!! Hey I was thinking you should use those adjustable sliding poles on each side the ones that have the button you push in to raise up or down. That would definitely help with accuracy and things. Cheers

Just like lightning! Never hits this same place twice 😂

If you could add a second powered tire and be able to control all kinds of possible spins, then you've build yourself a beast.

Good job mate!!!

The only problem with the machine is the feeder. Everything else is awesome. But that feeder is snagging the ball. That's why it's not accurate. Just move the feeder so the ball hits the top of the wheel. If you are looking at the wheel like a clock, the ball is hitting around 10. You want it to hit near 12 or just a little bit before. Plus the ball doesn't need that much metal to travel along. It only needs about 1/3 of that. But otherwise, this is a nice machine. I'm guessing it's top speed is around 70 or 80. If you said in the video, I missed it. But you could make and sell it. Regular machines are in the thousands now.

2:40 "Pretty accurate." Is this guy watching the same thing we are?

Going to build something like that to my dog, but a bit more advanced/automatic and quiet type! Whats the rpm on the motor you used? Liked the simple principle of your machine!

great job it looks fun to use.

Scary, but props on the initiative.

lower the tire pressure to get it to grab the ball better and then spring load the upper track to hold it better and that would do well.

The "Nuke" LaLoosh pitching machine.

"Pretty accurate " hahahahahahah

i agree with flyindwarfman, this seems better for infield practice. it you make some adjustments, which you probably will, you will get it right. great job.

Hey there, You know I was quite surprised myself on how accurate it shot ball's too My first attempt when I was compressing the ball's through the shot I was measuring 60 -63 meter's so the balls were landing very close to each other. Cheers

Good on ya mate good invention

Great! What kind of motor have you used?

Cool! Is it possible I can have the plans for how you made this? Or was this all in your head?

I have to agree. It's pretty cool to build something like that yourself, but... maybe it's better to use it for fielding practice... Who knows if/ when you make adjustments to improve it, though.

This is true to the method of building one, however the tire wheel is a flaw you need a concave. Perhaps a rim.

great job

i wouldn't consider this accurate but its great for a homemade device, I hope you keep at it. Add another tire above the one and stabilize the balls flightpath.

It's not accurate but better than I could do so good job, keep working on it.👍

WTF... Everything was a rainbow to a different continent. Id be afraid of getting in the cage with that POS if it could exceed 40 MPH

I think anything related to golf and if successful, would be a good way to get into the retail market.

Wow congratulations, can you tell me specifications of your motor please.

Pretty cool but it’s not consistent, good job tho 👍🏼 how much did that cost to make? Just an estimate?

Great.

how do you connect the belt to the axel to make thewheel spin

Great work dude, fucking awsome, but scary as fuck for anyone with a mullet

A little more safety-conscious and the device would be very good for young people

fucking awesome bro!

Would love to bat in front of that considering it just threw a pattern about 12 foot wide. One of them hit the ground just past the concrete, lol.

i think the angle should be up.. theres not an strike ball comming off.. but it wel be an great training for pop fly in and outfield drills!!!

Hey there yes I agree it's dangerous but it was only for my friend's & myself to see if I could build a machine out of house hold junk. Cheers

Great job! But the accuracy needs tuning

Needs a square surface tire rather than a rounded one. Would pitch more consistent with a flat tread tire.... Scary as hell though lol

Pretty accurate my ass

the tire must be without shapes in oder to get more control of the pitch.. and actually there are special machine baseballs cuz the normal baseball's threads can make the machine throw without control... so in short: a very old tire without shapes and special baseball (without shapes) for machine use

Great machine until it gets a shirt, jacket, or finger caught in it. It's a safety nightmare.

Good yap😮

"pretty accurate" !?!?! not even close

Hey cheers there are adjustments on the machine I me & the crew just wanted to see it work. Cheers

What in the world!!!? Yeah okay! Now let's load it up, carry it to the baseball field and see how many kids we can send to the ER.

where did you get the motor

I'll let you know for sure if something else come's up. Cheers

I applaud your effort, I know I wouldn't be able to be better. It would be a great fielding machine for someone learning the to field or pre game warm-up. It's extremely creative. Did you build something else I can look at?

It’s called a strike zone...Not a zip code

what is the RPM of the motor or engine u have used?

Hey I've just put a 6hp Honda horizontal drive in that chopper. The original motor was doomed!!!!

imagine trying to hit off that thing... ball is like, never in the strike zone

Danger. Need a guard on the pullys and belt. Injury potential of this is horrific.

Add belt guide

Using that, you'd spend more money on Baseballs than just buying an actual pitcher. Not only can you see the balls hide on the wheel you hear it skinning the hide.

what is the hp of the motor?

Watch this video a second time, it gets funnier.

Super cool. Although I'm not taking bp on it with that god awful sound

What are the motor details?

Wat pitch was that

What coach, I cant hear you! Cough cough

No not yet I'm waiting for anyone who, would like something created that cant quite work it out do you have anything in mind? Cheers

can it go 95 mph?

Hey, who's Matthew Hills?

OMG, Dude, I'm dying laughing here, I swear the Three Stooges could have used that prop, three balls hit the ground, one sailed over the fence, one hit the top of the fence, and the other would have sprayed a hitter. I can see a Little League'r parents suing the coach for using that. With that said, I think you're a heck of great guy for trying. Someone to create such a thing has got to be a heck of a guy. I'm telling you, I enjoyed the video and I'm saving this for sports my staff tomorrow.

i want that

I used a real one today. I held my lax stick right in front, cranked it to 10 and my bro put the ball in... I broke the head in 2 places! :(

One word. Getto.

The struggle

hack the rpm to go craazzyy high, then feed it rebar. :) * kzzsthu! *

More like a dodgeball machine.

Need two wheels possibly.

oh my god

hahah the lest one. how would anyone possibly be able to hit that

The one at the end

mush u do not wanna get ur hand stuck in that !!!

Muy peligrosa

I like 2 have ur bike

One word. Dictionary.

chur mean as g

Oye amigo y a cuántas millas lansa las pelotas

not very accurate but like the effort

there was no strike zone

Now design an auto feeder and remote control and it will be perfect.

Yeah very true, only problem with that. Is that china is at the top of the class with golf rectifying solutions.

this should be in FAIL BLOG

Rheostat,,,,,

Pretty accurate? Really? Are you serious? Oh well. Nothing is perfect, right?

Hahahaha "they don't know shit"
