The Heater Real 12 inch Softball Machine With Ball Feeder is a single-wheel pitching machine dedicated to 12-inch softballs, set up for both fast pitch and slow pitch practice. It is recommended for players 8 years old to adult and comes with a removable automatic feeder so a hitter can work through reps on their own.

A durable 1/4 HP motor drives a fully enclosed 8-inch air-filled wheel. A built-in dial with a 0 to 10 scale sets the speed, sending real 12-inch softballs at up to 52 MPH and lite 12-inch softballs at up to 60 MPH. For slow pitch work, the machine can loft the ball on a 15-foot arc.

Pitch height is adjustable, letting the same machine serve grounders, line drives and fly balls in addition to hitting pitches. The removable 9-ball feeder handles loading during batting rounds, and the machine stands on tubular steel legs with rubber tips. It weighs 52 lbs.

The machine plugs into a standard 110V wall outlet and can also run on a battery pack sold separately. It is designed for 12-inch pitching machine softballs and works with the optional PowerAlley or Xtender home batting cages.
