ABSTRACT:
A batting practice trainer for foot placement is disclosed comprising two oppositely disposed flat support members having a home plate member disposed therebetween and attached thereto, and placement guide members comprised of pliable, yieldable material and having a pivot foot recess, a first stride foot recess parallel to the pivot foot recess, and a second stride foot recess therein, and mounted in opposing disposition on the top surface of each support member. The first stride foot recess is connected to the second stride foot recess to allow unencumbered passage of the stride foot of a batter during the swinging motion. The depth of the recesses in the foot placement guide members is sufficient to provide tactile guidance for the batter's feet during the swinging motion, yet yielding to improper foot placement. The recesses are traffic light color coded to provide visual guidance of the proper batting stance with the pivot foot recess being red, the first stride foot recess being yellow, and the second stride foot recess being green. The center of the home plate member has a hinge and is foldable to provide compaction for transportation.
