Franklin Sports MLB Electronic Baseball Pitching Machine - Automatic Youth Pitching Machine with (6) Plastic Baseballs Included -Youth Baseball Pitcher

My kids absolutely love this! I will admit, I did not have high hopes for this since it is pretty inexpensive. However, my kids use it all the time and it works great. It is easy to assemble and lightweight to move around. My kids play wiffleball ALL the time (one batting and one fielding), so this makes it more fun since they can hit 6 balls before they switch. They can easily set it up, adjust the pitches, and put up by themselves.

I wanted a dog ball thrower but the prices were high and reviews were low. I wondered if the baseball pitch machine could be modified for my active dog who loves to fetch. I was trying to train him to drop the ball into the cage but it was so narrow. I was inspired by the cone shaped dog ball drops so I grabbed a dog ECollar, aka cone of shame from the storage and modified it so the dog can drop it in. We are working on the training aspect of releasing the ball, but this will work great once we get that part down. The machine runs on batteries, so it is portable inside or out and has plenty of thrust with the plastic balls. So far my dog has not tried to chew it up. He does want to stand directly in path of ball coming out, but the plastic balls do not hurt him. My dog who wore the ECollar however steers clear of it! Lol!

Worked great we got Extra balls only issue you need to find a way to weigh the base down after a few minutes the unit might flip over

The machine works sometimes. The pitches are never the same. Some are high some are low some are inside and some are outside. Not great but it works.

For the amount I paid, I was not expecting much. I made sure to purchase different wiffle balls to use with it, per other reviews recommendations and I am surely glad I did. The balls that come with it have some soft spots so can make the machine a little unpredictable but with the other balls, it has more accuracy. I love the fact that when there are no more balls in the chute, it stops the machine. So the battery doesn't get drained if my toddler chooses to turn it on. The first ball pitched is always going to be short as the machine warms up. So we have a bag of balls and keep loading them so we dont waste a ball every time it warms up.

Bought this item as a present for a 8 year old starting to get into baseball. Unfortunately, he was disappointed and so was I. Pros: I always try to find a bright side to things but unfortunately this item was not as described. The only easy part was it was easy to assemble, did not even have to read instructions. Needed 4 D batteries and then started to slowly run. Cons: First of all, the item came very jumbled in the box. No packaging and just the amazon package which caused all the pieces to be thrown around and bent as seen in the picture above. The item has very clearly been USED. The MLB stickers had been peeled off and stuck back on, the plastic was starting to peel, the battery compartment came half off with one of the screws not even tightened. The red light does not work as described and only is on when there are no balls in the spiral. I would say 3/10 of the pitches are able to be hit when it is at the highest incline. The first 2 pitches whenever you start the machine up come out very slow and low. Takes a while for the gears to run and as soon as it does it is out of balls and the wheels shut off which only leads to my son hitting it maybe three times before having to gather all the balls up and restart the process. I did get this item for $28 when I think it is listed at $50 but I expected the item to be brand new when it was clearly not. Very upset but will keep because I let my son open it out of the box so I can not rip away his birthday present now. He is entertained but I am very disappointed with the quality of the purchase. If I had to do it again I would not buy this item. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Such a fun pitching machine, 5 year old and 9 year olds loved it, parents even enjoyed playing with it. Can imagine going through a lot of batteries though, not too noisy, we even used in the house, although I don’t recommend, definitely more of an outdoor product

Works great. Grandkids have lots of fun using it.

Es excelente para entrenar en casa cuando tienes poco tiempo libre.. Se puede usar para niños y adultos sin problema, lo recomiendo ampliamente por la relación calidad-precio es excelente opción!

very good for cricket practice i love it

Best for cricket practice since is cheap than cricket bowing machine. Good for practice at home and backyard. Loving it

Chegou antes do previsto meu filho já testou e tá adorando

So much fun! Got this for my 6 year old nephew and it had all the kids outside(and a few adults) testing it out. I agree with a few of the reviews that if there is wind it does affect as the balls are light weight it, but there was a breeze when we were using it and it still worked great. We had to of been out there for a few hours and you could tell the batteries were starting to lose some power, but was still kicking. It is unfortunate the size of battery it uses, but I bought the off brand battery at Walmart and it was $14 for 12 batteries, so that’s not too bad! Safety Tips: just don’t let them look directly into the machine and you should be fine haha. It does shoot them out pretty fast and a few kids got hit but there were no tears. Overall this thing was so great and a great tool to help kids with their game. Easy to put together, and the price is right. Get it!
