SKLZ Catapult Soft Toss Baseball Pitching Machine & Fielding Trainer

If you use plastic balls in this machine it will throw them about 15-20 feet and look just like an underhand pitch. My 3 year old boy and 5 year old girl can both hit on it and the ball is consistently in the same spot. If you put a real baseball in it, it throws a soft toss type of pitch. I originally purchased a Franklin pitching machine, but it was very inconsistent on location. I spent the extra $20 on this machine and have zero regrets. I absolutely recommend this machine for any age.

Great training tool that is very easy to use.

Works surprisingly well with dimpled pitching machine balls for independent soft toss. If planning to use with whiffle balls, make sure you have a uniform set or you'll get an inconsistent spray. I wouldn't treat it roughly as it's not too ruggged, but it works well for the intended purpose and is good value for the money.

I ordered this item for a gift,but It comes with a broken wheel. I send the email to replace the wheel, they told me they don't have to stock it. I have to wait.

I ordered this product for daughters birthday. Payed the extra shipping so we could get it before her birthday. Got it in time for bday but it was missing pieces so needless to say my daughter was very dissapointed. I contacted Walmart and they sent the pieces that was missing a week later. I am not real thrilled about the quality of the product but I guess you get what you pay for.

It's very important that the item can perform as it's described in the package. I wasn't able to get one single throw or pitch to me. Machine was very weak.

We purchased the Catapult for our boys and gave it to them for Easter. We finally had a nice weekend at home and set it up for them. It worked for about 10 minutes and quit. The Walmart app would not let me do a return. So the next time I am near a Walmart store I will have to try to return it, but it will be outside of the return window before I can get there.

I purchased this for my son to be able to practice without the help of his father or me. We used the baseballs that were recommended, did not try it with the whiffle balls . First we had to put a small wire in to hold the basket in place. The feed worked for maybe the first 5 balls but then the last three would not fall and pitch correctly. It became more of a pain than it was worth. Decided to return it rather than it sitting in the garage. For hitting practice I would recommend the SKLZ Zip N-Hit. This product does work well!
