ABSTRACT:
Ground engageable flexible batters boxes that abut and remain flush to the ground. A first version of the flexible batters box includes straps and flaps formed plastic, nylon or the like, with optional pegs/prongs on at least each of the four corners for allowing the box to remain flush to the ground. Extension side flaps allow the box to be positioned next to home plate and can also include pegs/prongs. The rectangular taped device is foldable and rollable along with the pegs/prongs for insertion into a storage pouch bag for travel. Another version includes PVC pipes that interconnect into one another. The PVC pipes can be approximately 1/2 inch to 2 inches in diameter. Users dig out curved indentations in the ground beneath the PVC pipes so that a most of the PVC pipes is buried below ground leaving a small visible portion above ground. Specific dimensional sizes of the boxes can be used for Major League, Little League and Softball League requirements. The boxes can be used for practice and for actual play.
