Franklin Sports Kids Pitching Machine - Plastic Baseball Pitching Machine for Kids Batting Practice - MLB Power Pitcher with Adjustable Speeds

Watching my friends dad who’s thrown approximately 1 million pitches in the backyard, let me just say—this pitching machine is a lifesaver. The Franklin 4-in-1 lets my kid practice hitting, fielding, and pop flies without me throwing my shoulder out. 🙌 The adjustable angles are awesome—we switch between grounders and pop-ups in seconds. The red light warning is a great touch (less surprise, more swings!), and the 3 speeds give it just enough challenge. Plus, every 5 seconds? Perfect. Just enough time for my kid to reset while he sip my coffee. It’s easy to use, the foam balls are kid-friendly, and most importantly… my throwing arm is officially on vacation. Highly recommend for any parent trying to survive Little League season with their rotator cuff intact.

This kids pitching machine works great! My sons are 5 and 4 and have had a great time playing with it! It’s pretty actuate for the location it pitches.

I bought this for my 5 year old grandson. It was a very big hit. He and his two brothers (13 and 14) played with it immediately for several hours over two days. It sets up easily and is well made considering the price. It is important to set it on a solid foundation as the aiming alters slightly with each pitch - it's lightweight and just naturally shifts. It's not perfect but for the price works quite well. There seems to be little difference in the 3 speeds but the low speed is not too fast for a 5 year old. The adjustment for the height of the pitch does not set low enough for a 5 year old - so just put something under the rear legs to lower it a bit. Or as we did, aim it manually and then one can aim pitches to different plate locations. It's a lot of fun. Probably too easy for kids 12 and up in my opinion. My biggest complaint is that it comes only with 4 balls and additional balls are much to expensive for what they are.

Don’t buy! I saw other negative reviews but still thought I’d try it for myself. First when I opened the box the item looks used with scratches and dirt on it. Went ahead and installed the batteries and even a power connector with negative results. The product did not turn on. This was a Xmas gift and unfortunately my nephew won’t be able to enjoy it.

Our 6 year old LOVES this! It’s great for working on hitting but also for catching. So much fun! First thing she wants to do when we get home from school.

Doesn’t shoot balls accurately. Doesn’t matter what setting it’s on, it still shoots high or low. Not consistent

I dont normally write reviews for my purchases, but this ball launcher is amazing. Worth every penny. My 10yo son uses it outside, it launches the ball far and consistently to the same area. We absolutely love this.

We love this. It shoots plenty far, ample time for one person to load then get to batting place. Withstood torrential rain. Love its battery AND power cord options. Great speed control. Great price. Awesome for learning to bat. Highly recommend.

Great for boys transitioning from t-ball to pitching.

El tamaño, la potencia y la calidad del producto hacen un producto increíble y súper divertido para la práctica de bateo de niños. Los lanzamientos son lo suficientemente rápidos para que quienes comienzan a practicar puedan tener buenos ratos de diversión. El único detalle a considerar es que usa baterías tipo C pero hasta ahora el consumo me aparece bueno.

Muy padre.

Très bien pour un jeune enfant

Précision, performance je l' adore seul bémol il n'y a pas suffisament de balles à mon goût mais il y a surment possibilité d'en acheter d'autre sinon je le recommande fortement
