ABSTRACT:
A batting aid for training a batter to keep his eyes on the ball thrown by the pitcher while the batter is swinging at the ball. The aid includes structure connected between the batter's helmet worn by the batter and the shoulder of the batter that will restrict movement of the batter's head during his swing at the ball. One embodiment employs a flexible strap which passes through the helmet and is secured about the batter's shoulder. Another verison uses a rigid member connected at an end to the helmet and at its opposite end with the batter's shoulder. Additional structure can be added to the opposite side of the helmet which engage the batter's opposite shoulder to further restrict the tendency of the batter to turn his head away from the pitched ball and lose eye contact with it during his swing.
