Simply rotate the head with the easy-to-move grips and the unit throws curve balls from either the right or left side! The powerful 1/4 horsepower motor throws baseballs at variable speeds up to 75 miles per hour. The new 8" air filled tire improves accuracy, reduces ball wear and increases ball speed.
The wheels are fully enclosed for maximum safety (picture shown without wheel cover plate). The machine also offers an optional automatic ball feeder that holds 12 baseballs. Just turn on the feeder and each ball is dropped into the Heater pitching machine every 10 seconds. You can take batting practice without the need for another player.

Our local baseball association bought this machine last year and it has been a workhorse. We use it with dimple balls (the same bucket of balls is still in good condition after one year and 15 teams) and it has held up wonderfully. We use an extension cord to run power out to the mound during the summer season and then we have it setup all winter long at our indoor facility. The Heater Baseball Pitching Machine is the most affordable & accurate of baseball pitching machines on the market today. Among entry level pitching machines this product has no equal. Very consistent with pitches, very portable and easy to operate, I recommend this unit.
