Made in Taiwan Review: Durable, affordable, dependable, accurate - Perfect pitching machine for my 8 yr old who is in Coach pitch. He was tired of me accidentally hitting him when I would pitch to so I purchased this during the Black Friday deals. It pitches relatively straight with adjustable speeds. My son no longer has to worry about getting hit by the ball. He can concentrate on his mechanics and hitting. He has improved so much from the beginning of the season. He went from the end of the batting order to the #3 hitter due to his consistency and line drive hits. The machine is easy to put together, very light to transport, and anchors well into the ground. Simple to adjust pitches when setting up. I recommend this for anyone needing an affordable dependable pitching machine. All you need is a big yard, park, or open field. Review: Good buy, tons of quality pitches - This pitching machine is awesome! It makes our backyard training sessions so much more productive. The machine is 100% more accurate and consistent than I am or will ever be (Not saying every pitch will be perfect but the GREAT MAJORITY will be over the plate and in the strike zone). I personally only use the machine to pitch from the pitching rubber. The machine is easily dialed in for the proper ball flight and speed. My daughter has played softball since 8U and I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to watch/coach her for years, she now plays 12U. With hindsight I should have picked this product up years ago, the max ball speed is advertised at 44 for softballs and from what I recall my daughter faced a couple very talented pitchers in 10U slinging at least that if not faster out in California. With all that being said I’m very happy with my purchase, my daughter and I consider the machine as an advanced form of tee work due to the speed limits it has. Hope this help in case you might have been on the fence. Last thing I want to note... you will experience different ball flights with different brands of balls and types. Our dimple practice softballs fly straight into the dirt in front of the plate... Same setting, load a Dream Seam and it tends to rise but still in the strike zone... Same setting, load a dicks value buck ball and it travels more middle strike zone. I personally don’t see this as a problem... I consider the variation a plus since not all pitches are right down the pipe. ## Features - GAME-SPEED REPS, NO PITCHER NEEDED: Throws regulation baseballs up to 50 MPH and softballs up to 44 MPH, giving hitters realistic, repeatable batting practice without electricity. - COMPLETELY MANUAL - WORKS ANYWHERE: No electricity, no batteries, no maintenance.

I'm concerned about it needing to be staked down.** A: The machine needs to be secured to the ground. After every pitch the machine will jerk/move if not secured properly. The slightest movement shifts the pitches. Sandbags or weights would be an alternative to the stakes. **Q: Automatic feed for this model** A: Manual feed. **Q: Power source ?** A: Mauel release lever no power cord **Q: How is it powered** A: No power needed. It’s spring powered. Adjustment for pitching speed, height, etc are done by adjusting spring position, ball position etc. you tube has good videos to clarify what I am speaking of. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable, affordable, dependable, accurate *by P***L on May 29, 2025* Perfect pitching machine for my 8 yr old who is in Coach pitch.

However, I am disappointed to find that the machine is starting to fall apart already, despite having purchased it just this March. The durability of the machine has not lived up to my expectations, with missing screws and a broken flyball attachment necessitating repairs. I am currently in the process of replacing these attachments and screws, which are minor yet crucial for the machine's functionality. I have reached out to the manufacturer for assistance in obtaining the necessary replacement parts. Despite these issues, I must acknowledge that when the machine functions correctly, it proves to be a valuable tool for my coaching sessions. Its precision in delivering flyballs or pitches, depending on the setting, enhances the efficiency of training sessions and allows for a more focused and productive practice. I look forward to resolving the current maintenance issues so that I can continue to benefit from the machine's capabilities in enhancing the skills of the players I coach. ## Frequently Bought Together - Louisville Slugger Black Flame Pitching Machine - Rawlings | Official League Recreational Use Practice Baseballs | Youth/8U | OLB3 | Bucket | 24 Count - Louisville Slugger Flex Screen, Blue/Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1464581-black-flame-pitching-machine](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1464581-black-flame-pitching-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
