The BATA-2 pitching machine weighs about 98 pounds - about 40 pounds less than most JUGS 2 wheel machines.
According to BATA Baseball, the BATA-2 can throw pop-ups to a catcher. Keep in mind that with the head tilted vertically, you will have to shove the ball up into the wheels. It is also impossible to use an automatic ball feeder with this (and most) pitching machines for fly ball or pop-up drills because balls cannot roll uphill from the feeder into the machine.
