ABSTRACT:
A batting practice trainer includes a baseball home plate having extended side edges which assist in defining the strike zone. The trainer is preferably of a molded integral vinyl or rubber construction and the extending side edges are colored fluorescent orange, while the home plate is white in color. The colored side edges serve to effectively define the strike zone in both the eyes of a batter and the pitcher, and at the same time, the edges assist a batter in determining where to stand relative to the home plate. The upper surfaces of the extending side edges are roughened and faceted to enhance light reflection. The lower surfaces of the extending side edges are roughened to increase friction so as to reduce displacement of the trainer in use.
