Franklin Sports Kids Pitching Machine - Plastic Baseball Pitching Machine for Kids Batting Practice - MLB Power Pitcher with Adjustable Speeds

Perfect for baseball practice

Was much easier to assemble then expected, took maybe 3-5 minutes. Worked much better than expected as well....has three angle settings and three speeds of which the high speed shots the balls so far its good for practicing catching as well as batting! I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my 5 year old grandson. It was a very big hit. He and his two brothers (13 and 14) played with it immediately for several hours over two days. It sets up easily and is well made considering the price. It is important to set it on a solid foundation as the aiming alters slightly with each pitch - it's lightweight and just naturally shifts. It's not perfect but for the price works quite well. There seems to be little difference in the 3 speeds but the low speed is not too fast for a 5 year old. The adjustment for the height of the pitch does not set low enough for a 5 year old - so just put something under the rear legs to lower it a bit. Or as we did, aim it manually and then one can aim pitches to different plate locations. It's a lot of fun. Probably too easy for kids 12 and up in my opinion. My biggest complaint is that it comes only with 4 balls and additional balls are much to expensive for what they are.

Great for practicing

Terrible product. Ordered one used it 20 min. Quit working. So I ordered another one and that one didn't work at all.

Batteries didn't work out. Had to buy an adapter for it.

This works better than I thought it would!

The media could not be loaded. Super easy to set up and the pitches are very accurate and consistent. Not to mention three speeds to choose! Works way better than I expected so I had to write my first review!

El tamaño, la potencia y la calidad del producto hacen un producto increíble y súper divertido para la práctica de bateo de niños. Los lanzamientos son lo suficientemente rápidos para que quienes comienzan a practicar puedan tener buenos ratos de diversión.El único detalle a considerar es que usa baterías tipo C pero hasta ahora el consumo me aparece bueno.

We love the pitching machine, but when we were assembling it we notice there is a place for a plug-in adapter (not included). We searched on Amazon and Franklin Sports website and neither shows it available. On the instructions pamphlet it states: "This item has the ability to be powered by an adapter (sold separately)Input: AC 120V/60HZ/100mAOutput: 6V/DC800mAI would like to purchase this adapter if possible. Can someone please advise where I may order itThank youLouise W

The media could not be loaded. For my 7 year old to practice. Easy to assemble. Bought duracells played two days for 1 hour so far ok. 3 days late arriving.

Necesita baterias, es posible adaptarle un cargador pero no lo incluye

Muy buena potencia de lanzamiento, poco ruido al preparar el lanzamiento pero nada molesto.
