ABSTRACT:
A baseball pitcher's target includes a rebound wall surface which is divided into an upper half section and a lower half section. Each of the half sections is tapered rearwardly from the horizontal mid-point of the wall surface. The upper half section thus imparts an upwardly directed force component to a ball which strikes it whereas the lower half section imparts a downwardly directed force component to a ball which impinges upon such surface. Additional elements are secured to both the upper and lower half sections to impart laterally directed force components to a ball which strikes them and arcuately contoured elements are secured to both of the half sections, the arcuately contoured elements secured to the lower half section imparting a downwardly directed force component to a ball which strikes them whereas the arcuately contoured elements secured to the upper half section impart an upwardly directed force component to a ball which strikes them. Marginal side portions of the wall surface are tapered rearwardly.
