Your machine setting said 45 to 50 mph from 35 to 37 ft.35-37’ is actual pitching travel distance at 12u. 38-40 at 14u.

( which not everybody sets up their machine from the release point of a pitch)
Equates to stimulating~
Reaction time of ball shooting out of a machine without the mechanics of the pitcher.
So I commented, training quick reaction time!!
* especially with No body movement bringing release point closer.
( wasn't saying it's a bad thing, simply pointing out the quickness from the closeness that is involved in softball )
The idea is to match reaction time. Present the ball, then the mechanics of putting the ball in the machine. This allows the batter to load and anticipate similar to a pitcher.Your machine setting said 45 to 50 mph from 35 to 37 ft.

Like how you are trying to get near live game timing...'similar' That might be the ideaThe idea is to match reaction time. Present the ball, then the mechanics of putting the ball in the machine. This allows the batter to load and anticipate similar to a pitcher.
On a side note softball is close most will say a 60mph pitch is equal to an 84 mph fastball. Instead it is a 90 mph fastball. 95 measured per mlb radar guns.
Like that varying mph!DD (14) hits off a Sports Tutor Homeplate / All Star simulator as often as possible 100-200 swings each session. Speed / pitch selection is set on random and varies between 50-60 mph (pretty accurate according to pocket radar).
I feel its has been a great help.
