ABSTRACT:
A portable baseball hitting device comprising a column member adapted to extend in a substantially vertical direction, an arm member rotatably connected at one end to the column member, the arm member extending radially from the column member in a substantially horizontal direction with the other end thereof being adapted to contain a baseball, a spring is operatively connected with the column member and the arm member so as to bias the arm member relative to the column member whereby when a batter hits the ball, the arm member is caused to rotate in a clockwise direction around the column member, against the bias of the spring and when the arm member stops its clockwise rotation, the spring causes the arm member to rotate counter-clockwise to return to its initial hitting position. A housing is rotatably mounted at one end of the column member. The housing supports the arm member and contains the spring. A hydraulic cylinder has a piston which is connected to a pin on the surface of the housing. The piston contains a valve which initially retards counter-clockwise rotation of the housing and arm member.
