The Heater Jr. Real Baseball Pitching Machine is a compact, variable-speed machine that throws actual baseballs for hitting, timing and fielding practice. With a recommended age range of 8 years to adult, it gives younger players a manageable starting point while still offering enough speed range for experienced hitters working on their swing at home.

A 1/4 HP motor drives a fully enclosed throwing wheel, and the speed dial lets you set real-baseball pitches anywhere from 15 to 48 MPH. The pitch height adjusts as well, so the same machine can serve up fastballs for batting, grounders for infield work, or pop flies for outfield reps. The housing is made of a lightweight nylon-fiberglass material and sits on a galvanized steel tripod with rubber-tipped feet for stable footing.

Practice without a partner is handled by the included 12-ball spiral feeder, which drops one ball into the machine every 10 seconds. The machine runs from a standard 110V wall outlet using the supplied power cord, and it can also be paired with an optional portable power pack (sold separately) when an outlet is out of reach.

Real baseballs and lite baseballs both work in this machine. Lite baseballs are intended for ground-ball training only; they are not meant for pop-up or fly-ball drills, and using them that way can lead to poor performance or damage to the equipment.
