Abstract
Practice balls may be presented to a person in need of hitting practice by using an apparatus for pitching practice balls that includes a support for a ball propelling head, high enough to raise the head to the approximate height of a pitcher's arm when he releases a pitched ball, three variable speed motor powered wheels forming a ball propelling chute to propel a ball dropped through the chute attached to the ball propelling head, the three wheels forming a chute through which the ball to be thrown is visible, and the three variable speed motor powered wheels attached to a motor plate held within and attached to a pivotable frame; a control panel attached to the support providing access to one speed control for each motor driving a ball propelling head; and at least one front wheel guard plate in front of at least one ball propelling head of sufficient strength to provide protection from pieces of the wheels if the at least one wheels should disintegrate. This invention further includes a method for pitching practice balls wherein the balls are delivered to a person in need of hitting practice balls that pass through a chute visible to one in front of the practice ball apparatus to a three-wheel motor driven ball propelling head forming supported by a frame that is pivotable to aim the ball.
