The Heater Jr & Xtender 24 pairs a compact real-ball pitching machine with a 24-foot home batting cage, giving players from age 8 through adult a complete backyard hitting setup in one package. It suits families and young hitters who want regular batting practice at home without needing a second person to feed pitches.

The Heater Jr runs on a 1/4 horsepower motor with a variable speed dial and throws real baseballs at up to 46 mph, or lite balls at up to 62 mph. A 6-inch wheel grips and releases each ball, while a knob lets you raise or lower the pitch height. The included spiral auto feeder holds 12 balls and releases one into the machine every 10 seconds, so a hitter can work through a full round alone.

The machine is housed in a light, impact-resistant nylon-fiberglass shell that covers the spinning wheel, and it stands on a galvanized steel tubular tripod with pushpin legs that set up quickly. It plugs into standard A/C power.

The Xtender 24 cage measures 24 feet long, 12 feet wide and 10 feet high and is built for real-ball hitting. Its 1 1/4-inch polyester netting hangs from a fiberglass arch frame that goes up and comes down quickly. A built-in harness accepts the Heater machine, so pitches travel into the cage while batted balls stay contained inside the net.
