Abstract: A simulated batting dummy is provided with a three dimensional silhouette cutout-type structure. The dummy is made of two layers of impact absorbing, foam bonded together. A color image of a batter is painted or otherwise printed on each side of the silhouette for both right-handed and left-handed “batter” positioning. A support pole extends upwardly inside of the silhouette to the height of about the shoulder region of the “batter”. The support pole protrudes below the feet of the “batter” and is inserted into a receiving socket in a small base plate or, alternately, is inserted into a receiving pipe or cup buried in the ground in the batter's box at home plate. A bat made of identical foam material may be formed as part of the dummy. Further alternately, raised or relief portions may be added to the surface of the silhouette add further depth of view to the image, or such depth may be implemented with painted or printed shading.
