Manufacturer of professional-grade baseball and softball pitching machines, including the B1 and B2 Pro series made in the USA.
Bata (specifically Bata Baseball) is a US-based manufacturer specializing in high-quality pitching machines for baseball and softball training. Distinct from the global footwear corporation of the same name, this company focuses on durable sports equipment designed to simulate real pitching scenarios. Their product lineup includes the widely used B1 Kurba-bola eta BATA 2 Pro machines, which are capable of throwing fastballs, sliders, and knuckleballs at speeds suitable for youth to professional practice.
Known for their solid steel construction and reliability, Bata machines are manufactured in the United States and typically backed by a long-term warranty. The brand supports coaches, teams, and facilities with a range of accessories, including auto-feeders, protective screens, and transport kits, ensuring comprehensive solutions for batting practice.

The Bata B1 operates on a standard 110-120 volt AC outlet. If using a generator, it requires a minimum output of 400 watts per motor.
Conversion typically involves switching the legs to the softball height, replacing the feed chute, and adjusting the motor mount bolts and compression plate to change the wheel gap size.
New wheels typically require you to pitch 100 balls or more to scuff the rubber surface before they will deliver consistent accuracy.
Speed is controlled via the dial knobs. Approximate speed is often calculated as 7 times the dial setting (e.g., dial 10 is roughly 62-70 mph depending on the model). The Bata 2 Pro uses dual motors to control spin and speed separately.
Inconsistent pitching is often caused by an incorrect GAP setting between the wheel and pad, or the use of wet/damaged balls. Check the GAP measurement recommendations in your manual (e.g., 2-1/8 inches for dimpled baseballs).
