Kyle Teel & Ryan Fuller on the pitching machine that’s revolutionizing baseball

Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with a deep dive into one of baseball’s most talked-about training tools: the Trajekt machine. Ryan Fuller joins the show to break down the evolution from the old model to the new, how it’s set up, what kind of feedback they’re getting from players and pitchers, and whether the results are actually translating onto the field. From usage during games to player feedback, Fuller explains why the technology is becoming a staple across clubhouses.

Later, Kyle Teel jumps in to share his firsthand experience, how close Trajekt feels to facing a real pitcher, how much it’s helped his development, and the toughest arm he’s faced on the machine. He also discusses how often players use it, its success rate, and even reacts to Chuck stepping in to take a few swings himself. The episode wraps with Teel reflecting on representing his country of Italy in the World Baseball Classic.
