ABSTRACT:
The invention is a combination of an actual person simulating the pitching motion and a pitching machine to throw the ball. A person when simulating pitching trips a switch and the ball is thrown by the pitching machine. The invention is a cylinder that fits within the inlet to the pitching machine. At the end of the cylinder is a ball stop which prevents the ball placed in the cylinder from entering the in pitching machine. A latch engages the spring loaded push bolt from pushing the ball out of the cylinder. A release arm extending from the latch is tripped allowing the push bolt to push the ball into the pitching machine by the operator during the release position of the wind up. In another embodiment the spring loaded push bolt is replaced with a solenoid and the release arm is replaced with an electric eye.
