The hitting facility in Madison has this machine and it is "whats advertised". You can pick a RH or LH pitcher, the type of pitch, the speed, and the location (in/out up/down) in the zone. I sat in there as a left hander, against a LHP throwing a 95mph slider down and in. I left "soiled". The ball broke about 7 ft from the plate. Being a bit of a geek, the software that runs on a laptop outside the cage door rocks, it is user friendly, and a coach can sit there and throw what ever sequence he wants, wherever he wants, at game time speed.

A great tool and as close to live that a machine could offer

That looks pretty cool. It does worry me that since the kid said "it took me about 50 swings just to get used to it", if it translates directly.
