ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for propelling balls smaller than a baseball, such as a golf whiffle ball, at timed intervals from a storage bin. The bin contains a plate with a single hole that rotates at timed intervals and permits one ball to be delivered to a continuous air source to propel the ball to a batter. This small ball is then hit with a bat that is smaller and lighter in weight, than an ordinary baseball bat. By design, the storage bin has a mix unit in it to prevent the balls from forming a gridlock or jamming, thereby preventing normal timed operation.
