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

It was great good quality even better in person it’s small todo take it anywhere

My Grandson aged 7 loves this gift! He uses it to learn to catch the ball and hit. I had shoulder surgery so wasn’t able to pitch to him. It has good power. It does go through batteries so also purchased some rechargeable batteries.

Good for the price. Definitely not accurate and batteries don't last long.

Put this together last night for my grandson and was pleasantly surprised. It took me a minute to put the rails on as the directions are a little lacking. The pieces are supposed to be lettered but I couldn't find the letters on them but got it together as its fairly obvious how it goes. Get an 8 pack of D batteries when you order this item because if you don't have them on hand, like me, you'll have to wait to test it out. Finally got the batteries(I mean who keeps D batteries on hand any more?????) and tested it out. Worked perfectly! The machine pitched the balls a good 20 feet! I cant wait for my grandson o see it, hes gonna be thrilled. And it'll save my arm since I wont have to pitch to him for an hour!

It is not very accurate, it definitely would help smaller kids from up close but it’s really worth the money. It is very easy to get jammed.

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.

Bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He has down syndrome and loves to play baseball. I was trying to find something that he could set up and use on his own. He has loved playing ball with this Baseball Pitching Machine. Best gift!

My 5year old grandson was able to easily hit the balls being pitched fairly consistent towards the hitting zone with the help of an oversize plastic bat. That aided in his confidence I believe to next use a narrower bat. If using on grass , a flat surface like a piece of wood should be used to keep it better level. It will consume batteries but being motor driven that was not unexpected. I recommend using rechargeables.
