There are many sides to this question and there isn’t any one clear answer. Some agree with using a pitching machine and there are does that disagree. Some believe that pitching machines for baseball or softball, even if there are the best aren’t good for hitters since they can be repetitive. On the other hand, some say the machine's different speed and pitching styles can be helpful for outfielders. Overall, I think pitching machines for softball and baseball have improved and are worth it.
