Hello Families! For those of you that don't know, I'm Jed Strait, and I have been helping coach for the Belleville Youth Baseball for a few years...and frankly...my arm is tired.

The Belleville Youth Baseball Machine pitch team currently uses spring pitching machines. Still, I'm looking to all the families to help me raise funds for newer, more consistent, electric pitching machines.

These machines would also help the 4/5/6th graders in the batting cage. Our coaching arms need the rest! Throwing 300-400 pitches a practice is not great for us old guys, and we're not consistent enough for the kids to get good pitches, and improve.

The goal would be to get enough donations for at least one pitching machine and the trenching and electrical to supply the machine. If we can get enough money, maybe we can get a second machine. When the time comes, contributions of labor and materials would also be very useful!

I'm just trying to help out; any donations would be great, from $5-$500, whatever you can afford!

Let's do it for these kids!!!
