Batter Up!
No baby is born a Ruth, but every Little Leaguer wants a shot at the majors. For extra batting practice, give 'em Rawlings' Power Pro-Pitch. The free-standing machine (powered by a 12-volt rechargeable battery) is operated by radio control: The batter wears a wrist transmitter (about the size of a watch), which is connected to a trigger on the tip of the index finger. A simple squeeze of the bat releases the ball at up to 60mph. And since the Pro-Pitcher has telescoped legs, it will grow with your aspiring Derek Jeter ($299.99).
