It pairs an 18-foot backyard batting cage with a lite-ball pitching machine, an automatic 12-ball feeder and one Sandlot lite ball, giving kids between 4 and 12 years old a place to take regular swings without anyone having to throw to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGetting started is straightforward. The cage poles push into the ground, the support ropes are lined up, and the net hangs over the frame. The machine housing mounts onto its tripod, the feeder attaches on top, and once balls are loaded a single on\/off switch runs everything. The feeder releases one ball every 8 seconds, which gives the hitter a steady rhythm to reset and work on timing between pitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine throws Sandlot 40 MPH lite balls and perforated polyester balls at up to 40 MPH from 18 feet. Moving it nearer to or farther from the batter changes how quickly each pitch arrives, so the same setup can grow with a young hitter. Pitch height is adjustable, and the machine can be taken out of the cage and aimed up or down to send grounders and fly balls for fielding work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cage measures 18 feet long, 11 feet wide and 8 feet high, with a flexible fiberglass frame, polyester netting and a built-in harness point for the pitching machine. It goes up and comes down quickly, and the whole system stores away easily between sessions. One lite ball comes in the box; additional lite baseballs for filling the feeder are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandlot Lite pitching machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic 12-ball feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 ft. x 11 ft. x 8 ft. home batting cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Sandlot lite ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: the additional lite baseballs (one dozen) used to load the feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heater Sports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923934642454,"sku":"TSBH199PRO","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0029\/5702\/files\/TSBH199PRO-01.jpg?v=1794077234","url":"https:\/\/proathleticsupply.com\/products\/heater-sports-sandlot-18-batting-cage-with-lite-ball-pitching-machine-auto-ball-feeder","provider":"Pro Athletic Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
