    I heard...

    That there was one over at the USA Baseball Complex one day when I was out there putting on a demonstration.

    Everyone, from the coaching staff to the players and the parents in the stands was talking about it.

    If this machine is all it is cracked up to be - it would be a significant training edge and would be a great way to save some of the coaches time - however, you might see fatter coaches because of the labor saving abilities... :blauwoog:

    Saw one this fall!

    very, very neat! They can be programmed to do a bunch of things, including random infield practice, batting practice, etc. They have one at UT. Seems to save alot of time on field practice and allows coaches to be in the field and not stationary hitting fungos.

    It is NOT quite as pricey as the article said. I watched a team working with one. I understand why the guy said it can change a kid's life. Wow!

    E-mail the distributor and have him bring one for a demo.
