The patent application process.
Whilst some baseball purists think that pitching machines are bad, they are in fact an extremely good tool to use. A baseball pitching machine can help you practise your swing and hitting skills without having to rely on anyone else being around to throw the ball for you. They can also throw faster pitches than your friends can pitch to you, which helps you to really improve your swing. With the more expensive pitching machines they can even simulate throws for you to practise catching. All in all, they are a great tool to help you become a better baseball player.
