Furlihong 898BH Baseball Soft Toss Machine, Angle Adjustable, Step On Paddle and Release to Launch, No Power Supply Needed, Works with Regulation Baseball

Really good especially for the money. Saw a few reviews saying it broke right away, I thought I had the same issue, nope, user error. You have to make sure the ball sinks into the hole in order for it to launch. If it’s not fully in the machine won’t be able to pop it up. Tried with teeballs, works but trajectory is off. Used the included practice balls and it’s perfect. The machine does move around after about every two pitches, so either constantly adjust or use something to keep it in place. Sometimes multiple balls get pass the stopper, not a big deal just pick up and put back on the rack, it gives you about 5 seconds from when you hit the plunger until when it pops the ball. Definitely recommend.

Got it for my 9 year old nephew, he loves it - but me and my sister also love using it as well! Read the instructions carefully on putting it together and how to use it - the bad reviews in here are from people who didn’t do that 😆 Sometimes it sticks when you step to hard, but that’s ok! Just make sure the ball is in the right spot!

Item works but it will sometimes not feed the ball properly into the hopper to launch. Second ball just rolls over top after ball is settled into the launch tray. Hopper track is flimsy and doesn't attach well to the other track pieces. For the money it is what it is.

I really like this machine. It works really well. I like designs that are simple and just work every time. This does that. You don’t have to plug it in and can just bring it anywhere. The pedal isn’t too hard for my 8 year old to press. It gives the right amount of time for him to get set and bat. He enjoys it way more than using tee. Also no issue with using a regular baseball. Only thing that could be improved is the ball holder is a little flimsy, but only an issue if you try and pick it up by it.

Definitely not worth the $70 but it is a learning tool. My child felt good hitting the ball to the outfield.

I love this thing because my son is only 8 and I'm not good at baseball but he wants to play/learn...but I'm afraid of hitting him in the face when I try to pitch to him. I'm also worried that if i were to get good at pitching to him, then after he gets better at hitting the ball it's going to hit me in the face since I'm a little closer to be able to throw lightly to a kid. This solves everything. It has 3 settings and holds a grip of balls before you have to refill it. The timer is plenty to get set but not too much to leave you waiting around.

Grandson likes it

I bought this for my son May 2025. It worked great for the 4 months we were able to use it before the weather got cold. Now that the weather is warming up and baseball season is about to start again my son got the ball pitcher out. He used it for about an hour before the spring in the machine stopped working. The ball drops down but never shoots out of the machine for him to hit. We had it stored away out of the elements over winter so I’m not sure what would cause this. We’re really disappointed. We went with the more expensive pitcher so this wouldn’t happen and he’d have it for a few years but instead it lasted 4 months. 🤷🏼‍♀️ we’re out of a return window and now out a ball pitcher.

Works great! Kids love it. Summer favorite. Hopefully it lasts for a long while.

It's actually quite good for practice. It comes with 3 yellow balls which are solid, but, you can also use real baseballs as well. Push with your foot and the ball will release in around 5/6 seconds. I would recommend, thanks 🙂

Great item, works as described, would recommend.

Doesn’t work well at all. Pops maybe 4-5 times in a row then nothing but finicky issues. Immediate return

Fonctionne tres bien c’est pour mon Neveu de hit ans
