Get kids started on their way to a great batting average with this terrific baseball trainer that helps develop hitting skills, muscle tone and hand/eye coordination.

  • As child’s skills improve, it transforms into an automatic pitch up machine. One push on the foot switch releases 5 time-delayed balls in a row, and an audible signal indicates when the next ball is coming.
  • Includes a bat, five balls, and auto shut off.
  • Requires 4 “D” alkaline batteries (not included).
  • Ages 3 years and up.

Great toy for boys and girls as a toddler. Also good for my older child to practice hand eye coordination when no one can pitch him the balls.

Comments about Little Tikes Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer:

My 5 year old granddaughter really likes this toy. After 4 or 5 times hitting
it off the stand, she proceeded to use the automatic pitching function and
did amazingly well. She even took it to her other grandmothers to practice.

Comments about Little Tikes Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer:

My son and daughter who are 4 loves this product. Even the kids in the neighborhood love it. My sons batting is getting better each day. The only suggestion is I wish their were more balls and a bat available. Although Little Tykes has a wonderful customer service. I called because one of the balls split in half, they are sending me 5 more balls under warranty. One suggestion don't let older kids use this product. Power hitting the balls is what split the ball in half.

This is a great toy for young kids to learn how to hit a ball and then when they're older they have a pitching machine. My kids love this!

NEED Replacement Balls

Comments about Little Tikes Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer:

This was for my two youngest sons when I purchased it. Now my five year old with autism...this is his FAVORITE toy. Like the other reviewer...we are disgusted that we cannot buy replacement balls for this toy. We bought 14 balls that little tikes sells hoping they would fit...but they are too big. My son has cried and cried wanting more balls for his toy. He begs me to chase the UPS truck to get the right size balls off the truck, as he thinks the UPS man is to blame for bringing balls that are too big for his "baseball machine" as he calls it.

Replacement bat and ball
By JennyVerified Reviewer from Michigan on 10/9/2008
Pros:
Shuts off by itself, T-ball part is fun
Best Uses:
Baseball
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Little Tikes Auto Pitch™ Batting Trainer:

I received this as a freebie thinking I could purchase replacement bat and balls, if not in a store, at least through littletikes.com. I'm disappointed for my son that I can't. I would have to purchase a new one in the box to get the bat and balls.

Otherwise, my son thinks it's great to hit the balls off of the T-ball stand!
