ABSTRACT:
A baseball game apparatus includes a pitching mechanism including an upwardly inclined slotted track extending above the playing surface for pitching a ball in a lofted trajectory toward home plate, the angle of inclination being variable to adjust the loft of pitched balls. The pitching mechanism is adapted to receive a plurality of interchangeable pitching arms for varying the characteristics of the pitching mechanism. Each pitching arm includes one or more variously angled surfaces for controlling the trajectory of the pitched ball. A rotatable batting member is disposed adjacent home plate and includes a control lever disposed below the playing surface, and a depressible bunt control mechanism selectively engages the control lever for stopping the rotatable batting member generally over home plate to bunt a pitched ball. A strike zone deflector having dimensions commensurate with the strike zone above home plate is positioned behind home plate for impacting pitched balls which have passed through the strike zone of the batting member and deflecting the same through the aperture within the playing surface.
