This review is from: Jugs MVP Baseball Pitching Machine (Sports)

JUGS MVP appears similar to the JUGS Jr. pitching machine.
What is the difference?

According to Jugs's web site-.

JR.(tm) PITCHING MACHINE
5-year guarantee. Recommended age: 8-15. Speed Range: 15-60 mph. Throws Fastballs, Slowpitch or Fastpitch.

MVP® BASEBALL PITCHING MACHINE
5-year guarantee. Recommended age: 8-12. Speed Range: 15-52 mph. Digital Readout

They both have digital readouts presently. The older Jugs Jr. may not.
The Jugs Jr. is available as a combo machine for both baseball and softball having different ball feeders and legs for each.

The main different for baseball use only that I see in the specs is the Jugs. Jr. pitches a little faster at its top speed and extends the range of age usefulness.

I presently do not own this machine so I only gave it a middle rating.
