Soft Toss Training Machine
 
Hello, in my class Engineering class for school we are suppose to make or improve something that is already out there. My partner and I are planning on designing a soft toss machine to help with hitting that can operate with just one person and go at their pace. If anyone wants to help, we could use help by taking this questionnaire:

Thank you all for your help. :)

Good luck with that.

Being a board of umpires, I doubt you will get a lot of useful information about coaching and player equipment.

One exists but have fun with your project.

Actually, all operate with one person. The Wheeler Dealer lets you adjust the toss and the timing.

I'm still trying to figure our just what help it provides a batter

Swing mechanics with some timing added. But no need to combine with following a whole pitch.

At a ball which in no way simulates the event for which the batter is preparing.

Swing mechanics. Swing mechanics. Swing Mechanics.

Unlike a tee, the toss makes you swing when you need to, not when you feel like it.

Coaches can't pitch. :D
