ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for improving hand-eye coordination in a baseball player to improve swing and targeting of the ball. The invention includes a device for presenting a fixed target to the ballplayer which corresponds to the location of the incoming ball at the time that it should be struck by the bat, as well as a method for training the player with the use of this device. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the target is held in a fixed position with respect to the upper lead arm of the player, by means of a mechanical linkage. The target position is selected by having the player extend his arms as if swinging to hit a ball and placing the marker at the position of the "sweet-spot" of the bat. The player uses the device to practice positioning his body so that the pitched ball consistently hits the target.
