Midlo Son went through several of those pitch-backs. Our house at that time had no brick!
But they are really just for light tossing and then catching reflexively. They won't handle hard throws well. Also, the netting dry rots, so be careful what you place it in front of. (Plus, the kid will miss it entirely with some frequency.)
That's why I've always favored brick walls. But ... oh, for the good old days, when I'd get home from work and see my son in the back yard with the pitch-back, just waiting to pounce on me as I drove in so he'd have someone to throw hard to!
We sold that house not long ago. The pitch-back used to sit in front of a metal side door to the garage. Luckily our buyer made no bones about all the dents in that door.
