ABSTRACT:
A baseball practice apparatus comprised of a vertically extending panel having a plurality of selectively operable lights which generate focused light beams directed forward from the panel. A player swings a bat having a light reflecting surface which will intercept and cause the light beams to be reflected back towards the panel. On the panel there is an array of spaced light sensors. One of the light sensors detects the reflected light, and a visual indication is provided of the simulated result of the swing, for example, a "line drive" or a "fly ball". A foregoing visual display is provided in response to which light, or lights, were illuminated to simulate a pitched ball and which sensor sensed reflected light from the bat. A "curve", a "sinker" or other pitch is simulated, by actuating selected lights in a predetermined sequence.
