Franklin Sports MLB Electronic Baseball Pitching Machine

My kids absolutely love this! I will admit, I did not have high hopes for this since it is pretty inexpensive. However, my kids use it all the time and it works great. It is easy to assemble and lightweight to move around. My kids play wiffleball ALL the time (one batting and one fielding), so this makes it more fun since they can hit 6 balls before they switch. They can easily set it up, adjust the pitches, and put up by themselves.

Honestly for the price it’s not bad. I don’t expect it to last too long but it’s been fun. Be careful at first because it does go fast and can nail someone in the face, don’t ask how I know.

Good for younger kids. Eats batteries very fast. New batteries only lasted an hour but the machine was on almost the entire time. Kids had a lot of fun. “Throws” are very inconsistent but I reminded them that so are actual pitchers. My kids are 6, 6, & 7 and this is their first year of baseball off of the Tee.

very cheaply made but good for the price

Honestly great machine but my dog chews the balls like it’s some cheese puffs. I wish it could throw stronger balls with some weight to it. And the balls alone cost so much it’s not worth it in the long run for them to be snacks.

Bought this item as a present for a 8 year old starting to get into baseball. Unfortunately, he was disappointed and so was I. Pros: I always try to find a bright side to things but unfortunately this item was not as described. The only easy part was it was easy to assemble, did not even have to read instructions. Needed 4 D batteries and then started to slowly run. Cons: First of all, the item came very jumbled in the box. No packaging and just the amazon package which caused all the pieces to be thrown around and bent as seen in the picture above. The item has very clearly been USED. The MLB stickers had been peeled off and stuck back on, the plastic was starting to peel, the battery compartment came half off with one of the screws not even tightened. The red light does not work as described and only is on when there are no balls in the spiral. I would say 3/10 of the pitches are able to be hit when it is at the highest incline. The first 2 pitches whenever you start the machine up come out very slow and low. Takes a while for the gears to run and as soon as it does it is out of balls and the wheels shut off which only leads to my son hitting it maybe three times before having to gather all the balls up and restart the process. I did get this item for $28 when I think it is listed at $50 but I expected the item to be brand new when it was clearly not. Very upset but will keep because I let my son open it out of the box so I can not rip away his birthday present now. He is entertained but I am very disappointed with the quality of the purchase. If I had to do it again I would not buy this item. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

It works great but it comes out really fast and strong so its a bit much for the toddlers playing with it inside. We will try it further away outside and hopefully it will work well for the toddlers

njoy the pitching machine. My students are improving on their swinging.

Es excelente para entrenar en casa cuando tienes poco tiempo libre.. Se puede usar para niños y adultos sin problema, lo recomiendo ampliamente por la relación calidad-precio es excelente opción!

Best for cricket practice since is cheap than cricket bowing machine. Good for practice at home and backyard. Loving it

Chegou antes do previsto meu filho já testou e tá adorando

So much fun! Got this for my 6 year old nephew and it had all the kids outside(and a few adults) testing it out. I agree with a few of the reviews that if there is wind it does affect as the balls are light weight it, but there was a breeze when we were using it and it still worked great. We had to of been out there for a few hours and you could tell the batteries were starting to lose some power, but was still kicking. It is unfortunate the size of battery it uses, but I bought the off brand battery at Walmart and it was $14 for 12 batteries, so that’s not too bad! Safety Tips: just don’t let them look directly into the machine and you should be fine haha. It does shoot them out pretty fast and a few kids got hit but there were no tears. Overall this thing was so great and a great tool to help kids with their game. Easy to put together, and the price is right. Get it!

The machine looks great! The pitched balls are not thrown accurately to the batter. We used it for indoor training. Is there something I'm not doing correctly?
