Abstract: A pitching system will pitch either softballs or baseballs to a single station. At least one of the pitching machines in the system can have variable speed pitches. As the speed of the pitches changes, the angles at which the balls are thrown will be varied. In that manner, the strike zone at the batting station can be maintained. The pitching system includes a pitching machine with rotatable upper and lower wheels. Balls are fed to and thrown from these wheels. The speed at which the balls are thrown by the wheels can be adjusted. When the speed is adjusted, a control will actuate a tilting device for adjusting the angle at which the balls are thrown. This angle is decreased as the speed of the thrown balls is increased.
