Not a fan of how the ball ricochets off in all directions.
That would be fun. It looks like they are going to need a youth model. The one in the video appears to be too high of strike zone, for my students.
Personally, I don't like a lot of gadgets. When we pitch in a batting cage, and it's just me and the pitcher, I'll either catch for them or I'll have a thick white rope outlining the strike-zone and have them use that as their focus while I stand at the side and point out areas to adjust.
I love gadgets and if this gets a kid throwing more, it is great. I wonder how quickly, they would tire of it? I guess it has it's purpose in a softball facility.
I get concerned with the amount of money thrown at this thing and at that gadget relative to how much the things are used. Of course, that is not to say that there aren't any gadgets out there that are worth the money. I just think they are few and far between in terms of actual benefit versus cost.
that radar display is one high riseball away from being smashed to smithereens

I'm with Amy, I love gadgets, I have tons! My students like them too. I mix them up and bring different ones out from time to time and they like it.
This one is a bit high on the price range, I can see using it in a facility, home use I guess if you're ready to spend the money. I'm certainly not lugging it to practice.

I agree with all of the above. DD is only 9 and not "super" committed yet to pitching so this would not be a purchase for us at all, but I thought it would be awesome if the facility we go to had one. Hmmmm maybe this is one for the suggestion box.
