You must not be using your pitching machines correctly. They are an extremely valuable tool for practicing hitting mechanics. Just like a tee, or soft toss, or many other drills for that matter.

First, pitching machines are accurate and hitters can get quality reps. A coach throwing batting practice might only throw strikes 40% of the time, while a pitching machine can throw them 95% of the time.

Second, they can be moved! You can work on low, high, inside, or outside pitches.

The reaction time for a pitching machine can be similar to that of a real pitcher.

If you're using your machine for only bunting, then you're defeating it's purpose.
