ABSTRACT:
A portable baseball practice device (10) functioning as either a batting tee or a strike zone indicator is disclosed. As a batting tee, a pair of adjustable stanchions (40 and 50) are mounted on planar, horizontal members (20and 30). One stanchion mounts on an extender member (30) abutting a base plate member (20) which serves as home plate. A cup (46) for resting a ball is at the top of this stanchion. The second stanchion is positioned in the base plate member and adjusted in height relative to the first stanchion so that, for example, a contact-type hitter practices hitting the ball in front of home plate with a slight downswing. As a pitching device, both stanchions are mounted in the extender so that they straddle the base. Indicators such as color bands on the stanchion surfaces provides the high-low range of the strike zone.
