Back-Saver Portable Ball Basket by JUGS

The Back-Saver Portable Ball Basket by JUGS is a collapsible nylon basket that holds up to 100 baseballs or 60 softballs during practice. Set it beside you while throwing batting practice and the next ball is always within reach, so you are not bending down to a bucket on the ground before every pitch. It works indoors or outdoors, and it folds down for compact storage when practice is over.

Saves Your Back During Batting Practice

Throwing batting practice means bending down, picking up a ball, standing up, and throwing, over and over through a long round. The Back-Saver keeps the balls up off the ground so the reach between pitches stays short. Across a full round of baseball or softball BP, that is a lot less bending for the coach or parent doing the throwing, and a steadier rhythm for the hitter.

High Capacity Means Fewer Refills

With room for up to 100 baseballs or 60 softballs, the basket holds enough for a long round before anyone has to stop and collect balls. Fewer refills means more swings per session and less time standing around between hitters.

Collapsible and Easy to Store

When practice ends, the basket collapses for compact storage in a garage, equipment closet, or the back of a vehicle. It is lightweight, so carrying it out to the field with the rest of the practice gear is easy.

Durable Nylon for Indoor and Outdoor Use

The basket is built from durable nylon made to stand up to frequent use. It works just as well in an indoor cage or gym as it does on an outdoor field, and its simple, no-fuss design keeps the practice area organized.

Putting the Back-Saver to Work

• Batting practice: set the basket at your throwing hand side behind a protective screen so each ball is a short reach away.
• Front toss and soft toss: keep the basket next to the tosser so a long set of reps flows without breaks.
• Machine feeding: stand the basket beside the pitching machine so the feeder can pull and load balls without bending.
• Fielding work: fill it for a coach hitting fungoes so the next ball is always ready.
• Cleanup: carry it around the cage or field to collect balls, then collapse it and put it away.
