Everyone loves baseball, it's true.  However, the hitting portion of the game is difficult to practice on one's own.  There are pitching machines with autofeed mechanisms, but none can compare to this new piece of sports tech from Sports Tutor.  It is the first fully programmable pitching machine, allowing a user to lay out a series of pitches as long as they want.   Want a fastball followed by a slider followed by a curveball?  Done.  Want some of these to run a little inside?  Easy to do.  With the Home Plate, a single hitter can get as much batting practice as he or she likes, all alone.  Sadly, there's no plan yet for a way to pick up the balls at the end.
