Our machines have a max speed of 45 MPH when using the Taterballs. (We tested it with a radar gun). If you want to simulate faster pitching we have you covered. Use the chart below by starting with your age group’s current pitching distance and the speed you want to simulate. The chart will tell you how far the machine needs to be from the back tip of home plate, on the max speed setting, to simulate your desired speed (reaction time) from your current age groups pitching distance.
