ABSTRACT:
An outdoor baseball practice facility including a playing surface with a plurality of adjacent stations arranged thereon. Each station of the present invention includes a homeplate with angularly diverging baselines extending away therefrom to define a playing field therebetween. The baselines of any one station overlap the baselines of one or more adjacent stations. The baselines of each station have a distinguishable appearance from the baselines of other adjacent stations to allow a batter to better appreciate whether a struck ball remains within a specified playing field. Each station of the present invention furthermore includes an apparatus for presenting balls at an elevated distance above the homeplate of each station. A homerun area on the playing surface is disposed a predetermined distance away from the homeplate of each station.
