The Heater Sports Ball Vacuum is a rolling ball collector for baseball and softball players, coaches and parents who are tired of bending down to gather balls one at a time after batting or fielding practice. It suits backyard sessions as well as team practices and pregame work on the field.

To use it, you push the wire hopper over a ball on the ground. Spaced stainless steel wires flex apart as the basket rolls over the ball and then close around it, trapping it inside. A long metal handle with a cushioned grip lets you steer the hopper while standing upright.

Once the hopper is full, flip the handle upside down and set it into the included tripod stand, and the collector becomes a raised ball basket you can feed from while pitching or tossing. A pushpin can lock the handle to the tripod for carrying. The unit also breaks down for storage in a car trunk, garage or equipment room. It picks up regulation baseballs and softballs as well as lite baseballs and lite softballs.
