ABSTRACT:
A ball pitching machine having a spring powered pitching arm and having a dispensing mechanism with a de-jammer device for individually dispensing balls from a supply hopper and a ball loading device for automatically positioning a ball on the pitching arm for each cycle of the apparatus. The de-jammer device has a reciprocating roller positioned above a tilting floor which tilts between a horizontal position for receiving balls from the supply hopper to a tilted position for discharging balls into a ball feed channel. The ball feed channel delivers a supply of balls to the ball loading device. The reciprocating roller limits the balls supported on the floor to only a single layer while the floor is in its tilted position.
