Abstract: The batting cage comprises a portable backstop and a batting tee. The portable backstop may be assembled at a practice field from a plurality of frame pole sections, elbows, braces, and mesh screen covering. The frame pole sections assemble into uprights, crossbars, and sidebars that form a frame which the mesh screen covering is stretched over. The batting tee is placed in front of the portable backstop. A ball is placed on a post rising from the batting tee base and the ball is hit into the backstop by a batter. The backstop restricts the ball's travel. The height, forward position, and lateral position of the post are adjustable. An optional target on the rear wall of the portable backstop provides an aiming point for a perfectly hit ball.
