Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine

This is the Louisville slugger blue flame pitching machine. Used it a couple of times during 1 season and that’s it. Nothing wrong with it at all.

It's sturdy, portable, and requires no electricity, which makes it great for practices and games, home or away. Plus it saves the coach's arm.

For all ages, the UPM model 45 allows hitters to work on specific locations and sharpen muscle memory without turning the coach's arm to jelly.
