This coming Sunday at 9:00 we’ll be assembling the batting cage net and Jugs machine!  Let’s get some batting practice in to shake off the rust!

Just so you know, we purchased some Jugs Leatherlast balls. These balls are to use in our Jugs machine. They have the look and feel of regular softballs.  The stitching is made out of Kevlar and guaranteed for 1 year usage in our Jugs machines.  The only difference is the seams are relatively flat and not raised, which is why they can be used in pitching machines.   We wanted to try these because the dimple balls we currently use are not good for composite bats.  (Ask me how I know!)  We only bought a dozen to try before we invest in more of them.   Give us feedback on how they work!
