HitTrax – This feature, typically found on college campuses, is a baseball/softball simulator that has pitching machines available and includes front toss, tee work and soft toss. Participants can play a full game and analyze their swing by reading the contact point of the ball to register hit placements. Pitching machines for both softball and baseball will be available for checkout.
