If we used this, what would "I" do during practices?!! I love hitting fungos (and I'm pretty darned good at it, too!!!)

Here is a thread from a few years ago where someone quotes the cost at $18k as of Aug 2006. I don't know the current sales price.

Or you could just hit to the kids and have them practice reading the ball off the bat and keep them guessing exactly how and where the ball will go. I think I would use the money for something else personally. Besides, like GoMo, what a boring day it would be to watch a machine doing a coaches job!

talked to one of the creator's at the Atlanta Braves FanFest last month. he said the cost is still around $18000. Sounds like a lot, and it is, but you can finance it fairly easy. heck of a machine. hoping to get us one at some point in the future.

$18G??? Maybe it's just me, but that sounds absurd. I could field 9 Legion teams for that much money and have some left over for equipment.

You can do the same thing with an ATEC Rookie or Power Hummer for alot less money.
