Heater Sports Slider Lite Baseball Pitching Machine for Kids
The Heater Sports Slider Lite Baseball Pitching Machine is the perfect training companion for young hitters just stepping into the world of baseball. Designed to simulate real-game pitches safely and accurately, this machine helps build fundamental skills like swing timing, stance control, and hand-eye coordination—all from the comfort of your backyard or training space.
Ideal for Youth Baseball Practice
Built specifically for kids and youth players, this baseball pitching machine uses lighter-than-standard balls to ensure safety during practice. The soft balls reduce impact while still delivering realistic pitch movement. Whether your child is practicing with fastballs, grounders, or pop flies, the Slider Lite provides consistent delivery so they can train with confidence.
Speed is adjustable up to 60 MPH with lite balls, making it suitable for various age groups and skill levels. This gives parents and coaches more control over training intensity and allows players to progress without feeling overwhelmed.
Continuous Training with Automatic Feeder
The included 12-ball automatic feeder makes solo practice sessions effortless. Once loaded, the machine feeds balls at timed intervals, allowing players to stay focused without interruptions. The feeder’s hands-free design is great for backyard setups and helps maximize repetitions for better skill development.
Safe, Portable & Durable
This pitching machine stands on a sturdy tripod base that keeps it stable even during extended use. The durable ABS housing ensures long-lasting performance, while its compact design makes it easy to store or transport. The system plugs into a standard outlet and includes an AC adapter for immediate use.
The Slider Lite is built to work exclusively with Slider Lite balls (sold separately), which are engineered for accurate performance and safe use. Whether you’re a coach running drills or a parent helping your child practice, this baseball pitching machine keeps things simple, fun, and productive.

Got this for our oldest grandson who live, eats and sleeps baseball. He has been playing the game since he was 5 years old. He is now in high school and still playing and loving the game. This baseball pitching machine has gotten quite a bit of use in the back yard. His teammates come over and they all have a ball playing.

Great machine for my little leager. It isn’t perfectly consistent but that’s a good thing in my opinion because neither is a little league pitcher! It’s teaching him to not swing at everything. Pair this with the practice balls. Orange balls are slowest, white semi rigid balls are faster.
