ABSTRACT:
An automated batting swing training apparatus for providing a continuous, successive supply of predominantly vertically tossed balls for a batter to hit. The apparatus includes a ball projector that propels balls for the batter to hit. The balls are propelled from the ball projector in a predominantly vertical direction. A ball stopping backstop includes a section to absorb the force of the balls resulting from being hit by the batter. The automated batting swing training apparatus further includes a detachable guide channel that connects to the backstop, collects the balls from the backstop, and directs the balls to a channel arm that returns the collected balls to the ball projector, where they may again be hit by the batter.
