The Game-Changer for Softball Training: ATEC M1.J at the Red Wings Performance Center

At the Red Wings Performance Center, we’re all about making pro-level training tools accessible to every athlete in Rochester. For softball players, one of the most exciting pieces of equipment we’ve brought in is the ATEC M1.J Softball Pitching Machine, a lightweight, portable, and powerful training tool that’s built for reps, development, and confidence.

And here’s the best part: this machine is a vital piece of our Softball Hitting Leagues and available as part of our team rental add-on package. That means your players don’t just get cage time, they get game-speed training designed to sharpen timing and elevate their swings.

Why the ATEC M1.J Matters for Development

Softball players face a unique challenge: fastpitch velocity and spin get on batters quickly, and hitters need live looks to stay sharp. The ATEC M1.J delivers just that, firing fastballs between 30–70 mph with pinpoint accuracy.

Whether it’s preparing for the next high school season or competing in our leagues, this machine helps athletes:

• Time up velocity in a controlled, repeatable environment.

• Build confidence against higher velocities without the fear of inconsistent pitching.

• Maximize reps thanks to quick, easy setup and reliable accuracy.

Beyond Hitting: Defensive Reps Too

The ATEC M1.J is not just about swings at the plate. With its adjustable throwing head, it easily transitions to ground balls, perfect for working defensive skills in between hitting reps.

This versatility makes it a must-have for team rentals where time is precious. One hour in the Performance Center with this machine can give your squad a balanced mix of hitting and fielding reps.

Why It Works

Softball is a game of rhythm and timing. Nothing replaces live, repeatable reps against a machine that mimics game speed. The ATEC M1.J gives hitters:

• Consistency: no wasted reps, every pitch in the zone.

• Confidence: hitters step in knowing they’ll get live looks at competitive speeds.

• Game-readiness: training transitions seamlessly to what they’ll face on the field.

And when you pair it with HitTrax tracking and reporting, every swing becomes measurable, actionable feedback players can use to improve.
