Hi!
We are looking at getting a new pitching machine at our school. It needs to be able to throw 100 MPH and throw curves changes etc. anyone have any recommendations?

I don't know is it hits 100mph but the ATEC I think is the best machine. Easy to use and manipulate.
I have had a Jugs "curve ball" machine; it does all those things and is still ticking ten years later.
Geez who are you facing that you need it for 100 MPH and a curve. You may want to engineer a Bull Durham rainout on that day LOL

Most machines will throw 100 mph if you move it close enough to the batter.
The Juggs dual wheel pitching machine will throw as hard or soft as you want, and you can set it up to throw curve balls from either direction. We used ours for everything, including outfield practice. You could turn it up to throw so hard that balls would stick in the metal fence.
How good is the Pro Batter I have heard a lot of people say they do not like it?
Everyone has their favorite. I like the Iron Mike machines. Dependable easy to use. It's not movable so if you have to set it up and take it down look at something else.
