The Franklin Sports MLB Pitching Machine helps build confidence and skills in young players. They can easily practice baseball training by setting the machine to the designated angle for hitting and fielding. The slim 4-in-1 ball pitching machine stands on a tripod-style base with three ground stakes to prevent tipping. Kids simply raise it to the proper pitch level. The multi-color telescopic ball feeder expands to hold 9 balls. Six AERO-STRIKE balls come with the Franklin Sports pitching machine. This item is recommended for ages 5 and up.
