ABSTRACT:
A batting practice device includes an extensible frame which is pivotally mounted to a base and oriented in a generally vertical position. An upper arm is pivotally mounted to the frame and extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the frame. An upper wheel is rotatably mounted to the upper arm for rotation about an axis generally perpendicular to the frame. A lower arm is rigidly mounted to the frame at a position below the upper arm and extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the frame. A lower wheel is rotatably mounted to the lower arm for rotation about an axis generally perpendicular to the frame. Outer circumferences of the upper and lower wheels cooperate to form a nip through which a bat is swung during practice. An adjustable bias means urges the upper and lower wheels together. The frame may be raised and lowered to accommodate batters of differing heights and tilted to simulate different types of pitches.
