The Heater Jr. Baseball Pitching Machine is the best introductory fastball baseball pitching machine on the market.

Fully featured, it pitches regulation leather baseballs, baseball pitching machine balls, lite balls or wiffle balls with pinpoint accuracy.

A variable 10 speed control dial lets you "dial-in" speeds from 15-46mph using any of the above mentioned balls, based upon standard Little League depth of 45' from the batter.
Higher effective speeds can be obtained by simply moving the machine closer, figuring an additional 1.5mph in effective speed for every foot closer to the batter(e.g. placing the machine 5' closer would result in a top-end pitch with an effective speed of 55mph).

The rugged tripod stand is made of galvanized steel tubing and the durable nylon-fiberglass housing is both lightweight and high-impact resistant.

Also, included with the Heater Jr. Baseball Pitching Machine is a FREE 12 ball Auto-Feeder (a $79 Value) that feeds a pitch every 12 seconds.
