Reasons to Buy the Rawlings Pro Line Two Wheel Pitching Machine
Unmatched Accuracy
The Rawlings Machines features a micro adjustment features that will allow you to place pitches to the exact location you are looking to work on. Unlike other machines, the micro adjustments will allow you to move the aim of pitches within a matter of inches. Having this type of accuracy will allow batters to pinpoint their weak spots and repeatedly practice the same pitches over and over again.
High End Wheels
Rawlings uses the highest quality wheels with a one-Inch-thick urethane tread. Now you may be thinking, “what is this high-quality wheel going to do for me?”. Unlike competitors, Rawlings uses a one-Inch-thick urethane tread vs 3/8-inch tread. Having the thicker tread lowers the shock loads on the machine and causes it to have virtually instant speed recovery. When the machine recovers faster and you have less recoil, you will also increase the accuracy of the machine.
Throws Any Pitch
The Rawlings machine can throw virtually any pitch imaginable. The head of this machine is supper easy to maneuver and rotate making it easy to switch between fastballs and Curveballs. Because the machine head can tilt in any direction, the machine simulates both right- and left-handed pitches.

The Rawlings 2 machine is great for both batting practice and defensive drills. The head of the machine fully swivels allowing you to easily move the machine side to side and up and down to throw balls all over the field. Whether you want to practice grounders or pop flies, you can easily move the machine up and down in seconds.
