Pleasantly surprised
Put this together last night for my grandson and was pleasantly surprised. It took me a minute to put the rails on as the directions are a little lacking. The pieces are supposed to be lettered but I couldn’t find the letters on them but got it together as its fairly obvious how it goes. Get an 8 pack of D batteries when you order this item because if you don’t have them on hand, like me, you’ll have to wait to test it out. Finally got the batteries(I mean who keeps D batteries on hand any more?????) and tested it out. Worked perfectly! The machine pitched the balls a good 20 feet! I cant wait for my grandson o see it, hes gonna be thrilled. And it’ll save my arm since I wont have to pitch to him for an hour!

Good machine
Overall, it’s fairly easy to setup and works pretty well. It’s not always consistent with pitch placement, but that can help teach the strike zone.

Not for halfway serious baseball training but still fun.
First the Bad:Only goes about 10-15 ft of using off the ground. You will need to prop it up to get much farther. Putting it on a 5gallon bucket and no wind at all you can get it maybe 20ftthe slightest breeze will dramatically change the path of flight. Speed and weight of the balls isn’t enough to overcome that limitation.Even with no wind it still isn’t consistent but that is not a bad thing as they’ll need to learn to adjust and recognize locations.No good for machine pitch training no good for coach player training. Needs more speed/distance to make it worth it.No amount of adjusting the angle seems to helpThe Good:Fielder training is pretty good for popups or line drives when putting on a table or even a 5 gallon bucket. even with the lower distance it helps reaction time.The balls themselves are pretty decent. My swing on them haven’t dented one yet. I bought and extra pack of balls to keep the balls from going to far. when pitched by a person they work pretty good. the balls also don’t hurt except in some.. um.. sensitive locationsIf using in side it wouldn’t be too bad for hitting. and since the balls are plastic,less chance of serious damage but still wouldn’t suggest doing it where there are breakables.The price. Great price and good starter to see if a better machine will be beneficial.Conclusion. It is fun but very frustrating if trying to use it as a pitching machine. about worth it for the price. Still 4 star because i didn’t expect it to be perfect at this price.

Flimsy plastic and no power in motor.
The plastic feel too flimsy, sometimes it doesn’t even throw the balls farther. Feels like it will break after few uses. Also it needs 4 D batteries which is as expensive as the product itself.

*DO NOT WASTE MONEY, ITEM CLEARLY USED AND DEFECTIVE*
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.

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?

Great little pitching machine works well with supplied balls. Perfect for practice batting and catching.Arrived on time and easy to setup

Much better than expected with regard to how fast and strong each pitch is. Wasn’t sure if it would be too childish for my ten year old girl that just fished her first season of baseball. She enjoys it very much. It does eat up batteries fast though and it goes through spurts where the pitch isn’t accurate. But overall a great buy for the price.
