ST. LOUIS, MO ( KPLR )—
Ever wonder what it would look like to take an at-bat from a major league pitcher? The Gateway Grizzlies can make that happen for you or your little league team.With the addition of some high tech machinery out at GCS Ballpark. Campers at the Gateway Grizzlies Baseball Academy can experience simulation of major league pitches. From a 100 mile an hour fastball, to a 12-6 curve-ball. It's called the Pro-Batter PX2, and this ain't your average fastball hurling, batting cage pitching machine.
"Pretty much, if you can throw it with a baseball, this machine can throw it on you. We've got anywhere from fastballs, curve-balls, sliders, splitters, righty, lefty, pitchers out of the stretch, pitchers out of the wind-up." Charlie Lisk - Grizzlies Player/Academy Instructor
It's a major league pitching simulator used by professional teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and now the Gateway Grizzlies. With a machine that covers every pitch selection with pin-point accuracy. The instructors at the Grizzlies Baseball Academy have the ultimate tool to improve your little leaguer's hitting.
if you don't think this machine gets results, take it from one of the camp's instructors himself, who used it and then led the Grizzlies with 28 home runs and 82 rbi's last season.
The Grizzlies Baseball Academy offers 1-on-1, 2-on-1, private lessons, team lessons and more, all involving the Pro-Batter PX2. Information on their Fall deal for private lessons and the dates for their winter camps can be found on their website.
