The Heater Junior's strong ¼ horsepower motor delivers accurate pitches every time. The variable speed control dial easily adjusts pitch speeds from 15 to 46 mph, and the inflatable air filled tire cushions the ball, which improves pitch accuracy and reduces wear on the ball itself. The rugged tripod stand is made of galvanized steel tubing and the durable nylon fiberglass housing is both lightweight and high impact resistant.

More experienced players will appreciate the automatic ball feeder that comes with the pitching machine. The Heater Jr.'s auto feeder holds 12 baseballs and delivers one ball every 12 seconds.

"The best entry-level first pitching machine you can buy!" - Coach JP

Coach JP Says:
The main advantage of our new Heater Jr. Baseball Pitching Machine is that there has never been a more reasonably priced entry-level machine. Others in the Heater Junior's category are just plain cheap!

The Heater Jr. is quite easy to use. It has the velocity as well as a variable speed control, ranging from 15 to 46 mph, which is plenty for your youth player(s).
FYI - Both machine pitch and coach pitch leagues generally throw right around the 40 mile per hour mark.

When coupled with our optional home batting cage/tunnel of 24 or 48 feet, the maximum 46 mph velocity seems like it's increased due to the short distance between pitching machine and your hitter. Shortening the distance reduces the time to react to a pitch, which is the equivalent of hitting a faster pitch.

The other major feature worth mentioning is the machine's ability to throw a variety of baseball sized balls. from wiffle balls to safety balls to leather baseballs and our recommended yellow machine pitch dimple balls.

Baseball Tips Product Test
Here's a few words to pass on to you from my testing of this product:

1. This machine works best from shorter pitching distances of no more than 46 feet.

2. Use our yellow machine pitch dimple baseballs, rather than leather or whiffle balls. The dimples offered better accuracy and velocity.

3. I am more comfortable recommending this machine for younger players up to 11 years of age and for those where price is an ultimate deciding factor. Otherwise, you may want to consider our "steel-case" and slightly more expensive 50 MPH Heater Baseball Pitching Machine or our 60 MPH Heater Combo Pitching Machine.

Your choice of 5 lengths. All cages are 12' high x 12' wide. A net made of durable 1" nylon squares, a size perfect for containing golf balls and any type of baseball or softball. A wind-resistant frame constructed of 1¼" steel and fiberglass arched tops.

Set up for the pitching machine and batting cage is fairly easy and quick!
We include everything you need, so there's nothing more to buy!

Need more balls?

Both Coach JP and the manufacturer suggest using dimple balls with the Heater Junior pitching machine. They are more accurate and last longer. We sell top quality dimple balls by the dozen. Our weatherproof yellow balls are the same size and weight as leather baseballs but have a 15% compression ratio that makes them easier on players' bats and hands, especially in colder weather. Coach JP note:  Our PRO dimple balls will outlast any good leather baseball by a ratio of 10 to 1 while still providing good "pop" and "feel". They will not waterlog and will wear out before they break!
