Which Pitching machine is better? Whats the difference?

I am buying a pitching machine for my 16 years old nephew as a surprise birthday present, but I am quite naive when it comes to baseball. I researched the market but there are pitching machines from $25 to $2000. I was just wondering what difference do they have to offer and what kinda machine would be best for him?

If your nephew can hit ill go for the 200$ to 500$ range if he is still learning you might wanna go cheaper because usally the high cost ones are the ones that throw the fastest.

Baseball: Pitching is causing my side to hurt?

I am a right handed pitcher, but when I throw my left side hurts. The pain starts while I am pitching, and gets worse with each pitch. Some pitches feel fine, others hurt horribly. The area that hurts is between my back and my side, between my hip and my ribcage. Am I doing something causing me to strain this area? Please help... Thanks
I am 18 years old if that matters

You should probably go see the doctor, preferably get it looked at by someone who specializes in baseball.

Also, try and post a video of your pitching so that people can take a look and offer some advice.

does anyone know of any baseball pitching exercises that i could do at home without getting out of the house?

i can only get out of the house sometimes, so good answers would really help.

Good goal. The exercise I am about to show you is also going to improve your accuracy.

Depending on your arm strength, I would get a reasonably heavy weighted baseball. Use the baseball in the following exercises. You will also need a medicine ball.

1. Put your arm up three-five inches away from a wall. Bounce the weighted baseball against the wall and catch it. You should be getting tired by the 15-20th one. If not, your ball is either too light or too heavy.

2. Grip the medicine ball in one hand. Bring it up over your head and transfer the ball to the other hand. Repeat this process until your arm is tired.

3. Throw the medicine ball in a baseketball-type fashion to a another person. Make sure you are using your legs too. You do not want to damage your arm because you are just using your arms.

4. After you complete these exercises and rest, throw 5-10 pitches at full speed (try your best in a house). You will not see immediate improvement but eventually, you will. A study in Australia found that worked with excercises like these saw an increase in velocity within six weeks.

Use these excercises along with your normal workout. Good Luck.

Am I they only one who wishes they could get a pitching machine?

I really want a pitching machine but i know i'll never have enough $$. Is anyone else with me?

I love my batting cage (a gift from my late uncle), and can't get enough of it. Unfortuately, I can't really use it in the winter time (well, I can, but it's much harder), and it's just sitting in my backyard right now, covered in snow. I can't wait until it gets warm enough for me to crank it up again.

where can i find "the science and art of baseball pitching?"?

im going to be a college pitcher this upcoming year, and have heard a lot of good things about this book. should i get it?

where can i get it?

thanks

I would get it from Dick Mills website. www.pitching.com
You can also read some previews of whats in the book. It's $77 dollars plus shipping but it is better information then you have ever got at any clinic and you can go at your speed and you own it. The momentum pitching book is $25(e-book) and I highly recommend that. Good Luck
