Best Pitching Machines of 2025

"I wanted a very accurate machine that was also compact and easily transported. It takes only 2 minutes to set up. My 6 and 8-year-old can use it independently. I’m thrilled with the product!"

"I did extensive research before selecting this machine, and I couldn't be happier. After a full season of coaching 10U travel baseball, it's been solid, accurate, and offers plenty of speed. We especially love using it for fielding drills and fungo. Although it’s not cheap, I've definitely gotten my money's worth!"

"This pitching machine is incredibly light, making it easy to move around. I purchased it for my 10-year-old son, and it's perfect for him to practice hitting. The accuracy is impressive, and it has been a great addition for both batting and fielding. I highly recommend it!"

"I've been using the machine for quite some time now, and I can confidently say it’s the best for the money. The consistency in its pitch delivery is just wonderful, even with adjustments. I measured the fastball at 93-94 mph, and the curveball adjustments are impressive! It's a game changer for practicing various pitches!"

"I purchased this machine for my backyard batting cage, and it's a brute! It's heavy but built with quality. This machine is capable of throwing 100+ mph accurately, which is incredible. I highly recommend getting the kevlar-seamed leather balls to go with it!"

"I had a few warranty issues, but overall, this is an awesome machine! The customer service from Sports Attack is exceptional. They really take care of their customers, and I’m thrilled with my purchase!"

"I find this machine to be even better than my previous Jugs machine. It's an excellent tool for helping my child or grandchild improve in baseball or softball."

"Initially, I was disappointed with the machine's performance; it was only throwing around 30 mph. After adjusting the max speed knob, it now fires at least 60 mph, making it great for basic practice!"

"After setting it up in my backyard, I was amazed by its accuracy and consistency. I can't wait to use it for fly balls and pop-ups on the field!"

"I purchased this machine to help my daughter and son with their hitting practice. It delivers consistent pitches and is exceptionally easy to set up. The fact that it doesn't require power makes it perfect for using in various locations. After a bit of practice, we learned to adjust the height and speed effectively, and the kids really enjoy using it."

"I'm thrilled with this pitching machine. The initial assembly took me only about 10 minutes, and I've found it to pitch accurately enough for my son's age group. The portability is a significant plus for us, and I appreciate that it can throw different types of balls. It has truly enhanced our practice sessions."

"My husband thinks this machine is worth every penny. Adjustments for speed and height are straightforward, and he can easily accommodate both of our boys' varying abilities. It’s a fantastic tool for improving their hitting skills!"

"I found the setup to be quick and finished in less than 10 minutes. The pitching wheel does need to be inflated, but once set up, my kids were able to hit line drives after just a few pitches. The 24' extender batting cage is perfect for their age, and I feel this machine is a solid investment for improving their batting skills."

"Initially, I was skeptical about this machine, but I’m glad I decided to buy it. The variable speed option is fantastic, allowing my son to practice at different speeds as he improves. The machine simulates real pitching well, and I’ve noticed huge improvements in his batting during games. It's worth every penny!"

"This is my second Heater pitching machine, and while it’s performed adequately, there are a few issues. The ball feeder doesn’t fit perfectly, and I’ve noticed some inconsistency in pitches. However, I appreciate that it can handle different types of balls, just be sure to use the recommended ones for optimal performance."

"I found this machine to be great for my 7-year-old grandson. It pitches consistently, allowing me to control the speed and direction instead of relying on my tired arm."

"Initially, I had low expectations, but this pitching machine has really helped my son improve his hand-eye coordination. I highly recommend it!"

"I bought this machine for my 6-year-old, expecting it to work well, but unfortunately, it was inconsistent and didn't perform as hoped. I ended up using it for just grounders and pop flies, and now I'm worried it might break due to the vibrations."

"I absolutely love that Amazon carries this machine. I saved a significant amount on shipping and even got a slight discount. The machine's compact size fits perfectly in my Civic's back seat. I had a little issue with the third leg's sleeve, but it was easy to fix. The speed it spools up is impressive, and the height adjustments are superior to Jugs machines. Overall, it's a great machine for all levels."

"We recently bought this machine after using Jugs for years. The pitches are lively compared to Jugs. It's versatile for pitching and fielding practice. We chose it for portability, and it fits easily in our Acura MDX SUV. However, I wish it had better transport options, like wheels on the legs. Even so, it's a really nice pitching machine overall."

"I was initially worried about the speed for high-level players, but it has performed well. It's lightweight and easy to set up. We've only used it for a month, but I see no need for a larger version unless we use it heavily. For now, it's perfect for pitching dimpled balls."

"I had always used the blue version and decided to try this model. I'm really happy with it! It's easy to adjust, of good quality, and works perfectly."

"I purchased the 'Black Flame' for my grandkids' baseball practice. I was worried about my knees affecting my ability to use the pedal, but I managed 2.5 hours without issues. The accuracy is decent, though it drifts a bit with baseballs. Overall, it's a great tool!"

"I bought this machine for my grandkids to enhance their skills. They enjoy using it as much as they do batting practice. Assembly was a little confusing due to my misunderstanding of the instructions, but it turned out to be quite straightforward."

"I was honest about my doubts. It was a Christmas gift, and I didn't trust it at first. But it was easy to set up and works great! I love the different speed settings. Can't wait for more practice before the season!"

"I got this for my grandson’s birthday, but when he opened it, it was broken into pieces inside the box. Since it was outside the return window, we couldn’t replace it. It was a waste of money for us."

"This machine is great for my kids' practice. It helps them get the hang of hitting and swinging a bat! Overall, I'm really satisfied with its performance."
