Major League Baseball Teams Achieve Better Swings Using Arm-Style Pitching Machines

Market Wire, June, 2008

With opening day come and gone, and baseball season now in full swing, major league baseball teams are literally getting into the swing of things with arm-style pitching machines from Master Pitching Machine , the world leader in the design and production of commercial pitching machines and batting cage equipment.

"Hitting is all about having the proper timing and knowing when to start your swing and when to shift your weight. This is achieved by watching the pitcher's arm and release of the ball," said Joseph Giovagnoli of Master Pitching Machine. "An arm-style pitching machine is the only type of pitching machine that gives you the same sense of timing as a real pitcher. Because of this, arm-style pitching machines from Master Pitching Machine are the favorite machines of professional players and coaches worldwide."

With each pitch of the Iron Mike arm-style pitching machine from Master Pitching Machine, batters see the machine's arm wind up and release the ball. It is the realistic nature of the machine that allows players to practice the same fundamentals in the batting cages as they use on the field.

"Our pitching machines are so useful in timing swings that many professional baseball players actually buy their own machines for practice in the off season," said Giovagnoli.

Master Pitching Machine offers a full range of batting accessories including batting cages, netting, L-screens and portable mounds. The Iron Mike arm-style pitching machine can currently be seen featured prominently on Fox Sports' baseball commercials. For additional information call 800-878-8228 or visit www.masterpitch.com .
