The Batter Controlled Pitching Machine

This is the pitching machine that batters operate from the bat’s wireless transmitter to practice hitting a plastic ball. A press of the button on the 26" plastic bat’s handgrip signals the machine to throw a ball, giving young batters control over the timing of pitches. For young sluggers who prefer to swing their favorite bat, automatic mode throws a pitch every eight seconds. A red light on the machine also lights up to let hitters know a pitch is on its way. The machine pitches up to 25 feet, adjusts to throw at one of three gentle arcs, and can also toss pop-ups for fielding practice. Includes five plastic balls. Requires four D batteries and one 9-volt battery. Ages 5 and up. 23" H x 20" W x 24" D. (2 1/2 lbs.)
