“It greatly helped me to prepare for this past season as it could simulate game-like conditions. I can’t get that from regular BP. It was tremendous for situational hitting; placing myself in a 2- 2 count against Clemens and then elevating a fastball or throwing a split.”
Trot Nixon - Outfielder Boston Red Sox
“We had the most success we ever had in the Florida Instructional league this fall with using the machine to teach our young hitters an approach to hitting a breaking pitch and the art of bunting for base hits. It was a huge help to our program.”
Johnny Goryl – Assistant Director of Player Development for Cleveland Indians
“This is great for pitch recognition. We have been feeding our guys a heavy dose of breaking balls wit the ProBatter system.”
Lou Frazier– ex-coach
– Columbus Red Stixx
(Atlantic League)
“The ProBatter has been great for my timing. I’ve been locked in ever since I started using it. It was definitely a factor in my being named Player of the Week.”
Scott Pratt – Akron Aeros
(Eastern League) Eastern player of the week – June 2002
“I love this machine”
David Engle
– Ex-Hitting Coach New York Mets
“The ProBatter system gives hitters more game-like pitches in a fifteen-minute workout training session than in a week’s worth of games.”
Bill Bavasi, ex - Director of Player Dev.,
LA Dodgers.
“The ProBatter is a difference maker. Working with ProBatter Sports has been a very positive experience.”
Ken Williams – General Manager
Chicago White Sox
“The ProBatter machine affords hitters an opportunity to practice the game at full speed against Major League quality pitching and, unlike traditional pitching machines, to time the pitcher’s delivery. The ProBatter machine is an important part of our hitting development program.”
Ben Cherington – Director Of Player Development Boston Red Sox
“We aim to provide every player who trains with us the very best training experience and the ProBatter PX2 is certainly the best tool for hitters. As a former player, I know there is no substitute to facing live pitching for a hitter to perfect his timing and rhythm. But it has been impossible to find one who can consistently and accurately throw over 90 mph – until now. ProBatter gives our students a tremendous opportunity to improve and take their game to the next level."
Mike Brooks, owner of
West Coast Baseball Academy
“The ProBatter system worked great. It was in constant use by our prospects. One of the biggest advantages was to help our kids recognize breaking balls. It was the next best thing to big league pitching for them. In the beginning, our kids couldn’t get near the ProBatter curve ball but after a few weeks, they were a lot more confident”
Mickey Brantley
“The ProBatter’s realism makes it the most advanced training tool ever developed for hitters at all levels."
Rick Peterson – current pitching coach
NY Mets
“The ProBatter machine affords hitters an opportunity to practice the game at full speed against Major League quality pitching and, unlike traditional pitching machines, to time the pitcher’s delivery. The ProBatter machine is an important part of our hitting development program.”
Ben Cherington – Director of Player Development Boston Red Sox
“A lot of guys swear by it”
David Wright – New York Mets 3rd base man (Quotes in a Sporting News article)

I have it in my hitting cages in Vegas…(Brain) Cashman called to ask me about it and I said it was great. It gives you a look at everything and at every speed.”
Jason Giambi – New York Yankees 1st baseman (Quotes in a NY Post article)
“It does a good job simulating your timing…It’s the best thing to do..”
Bubba Crosby – New York Yankees outfielder (Quotes in a NY Post article)
Dear Pro Batter
Your machine is better than anyone could imagine. I was a 3rd round draft choice in 2005. I was a pitcher but the Braves told me I would be playing outfield now. I went to the Gulf Coast League and hit .203 there. After thorough research I decided to buy your machine and I worked with it for 4 months and went back to play. That season I moved up two levels and hit .240. Last off season I worked with your machine again. This season I hit .312 in the two levels that I played in, made my first all star team in pro ball and led all of minor league baseball with 176 total hits! I am so excited to get back to the off season so I can train with your machine. I am totally confident in telling you that your machine is helping me get to the big leagues!
Jordan Schafer – AA BRAVES PLAYER
“It’s like getting live batting practice in the off-season just like you’d get in regular BP”
