{"product_id":"heater-jr-xtender-24","title":"Heater Sports Heater Jr \u0026 Xtender 24","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heater Jr \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater Jr real-ball pitching machine with 6-inch wheel, variable speed control and adjustable pitch height knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-ball spiral auto-ball feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 polyurethane pitching machine baseball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty tubular steel tripod stand with pushpin legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in machine harness for connecting to the cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXtender 24 ft x 12 ft x 10 ft home batting cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heater Sports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923938836758,"sku":"BSC599","price":549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0029\/5702\/files\/BSC599-1.jpg?v=1794077300","url":"https:\/\/proathleticsupply.com\/products\/heater-jr-xtender-24","provider":"Pro Athletic Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
