We purchased this product for our son last Christmas and it was a total waste of money. It pithes the ball all over the place. Our son would keep moving around to where it pitched the ball last and it would be 2-3 feet off the next pitch - very discouraging. He ended up getting hit in the eye Christmas morning because of this. Fortunately, it does use plastic balls or he could have really been hurt. If you truly want this item, I'd mail you ours for free just to get it out of the garage!!!

Comments about Franklin Sports Franklin MLB Pitching Machine:

This product does not come as advertised on the web site. It only comes with the machine and 6 plastic baseballs even though it is advertised as including a "27 inch collapsible bat and 8 white Aero Strike plastic baseballs". The machine seems to work fine, you just need to know you will need to purchase a bat separately.

Comments about Franklin Sports Franklin MLB Pitching Machine:

This is a Christmas gift so it hasn't been thoroughly used, but I tried it out to make sure it works. It took a few minutes for the balls to start shooting out correctly. Also, I had to adjust it to the highest (tallest) setting or one ball would shoot out and immediately another would roll out.
