The Iron Mike C-82 Compact Youth Trainer from Master Pitching Machine is an arm-style youth pitching machine for home and backyard batting cages. Hitters watch the Iron Mike arm wind up and release every pitch with an overhand motion, so timing in the cage carries straight over to facing a live pitcher.
It throws baseballs, softballs and polyballs from 20 to 60 MPH, and the ball rack holds 28 baseballs or 20 softballs. A 2-wheel transport system rolls it in and out of the cage, and a lockable arm cover keeps it safe between sessions. Made in the USA.

Wheel machines shoot the ball out of a slot, so hitters can't see a release. The Iron Mike pitching machine swings a real arm, giving hitters a windup and release point to time, just like a pitcher. The Iron Mike arm dates back to 1953, and Master Pitching Machine still builds Iron Mike machines today.
The C-82 is a youth and home trainer. Master Pitching Machine does not recommend it for high school baseball or fastpitch softball programs, and an additional hand and ball stop are needed for slow pitch softball. For high school and up, see the full Iron Mike lineup.
Don't let space limit training. Reaction time comes down to pitch speed versus pitching distance, so a pitching machine set closer at a lower speed can match the reaction time of any pitch. Batting practice works in any size batting cage.
