The handles are attached to first ends of the lines. The ball is mounted to the lines for undergoing sliding movement therealong when the lines are pulled laterally away from one another. The bat is swung so that the flat surface moves parallel to the lines to bring the bat into proper contact the ball. The attachment member fastens second ends of the lines to an anchor. The stoppers are attached to the handles such that the ball sliding along the lines is prevented from contacting the handles. The ball can have an outer shell defining a hollow interior chamber and a plurality of holes and tubular inserts securely fitted through a pair of opposite aligned ones of the holes and receiving the lines therethrough. The apparatus further includes another stopper mounted to the lines between the ball and anchor such that the ball sliding along the lines is prevented from contacting the anchor and a third line extending between and attached to the stopper and the anchor or a catching mit for receiving the ball.
