Abstract: There is disclosed a baseball batting training device provided with a base plate which is anchored to the ground by spikes, cork-shaped ground engaging pins or various other types of ground anchoring systems. A vertically extending hollow tube is mounted to a plate spaced from the base by rubber isolators. An L-shaped tube has one arm inserted in the vertical hollow tube with a rubber collar affixed about the inner tube. The vertical tube is provided with several vertically spaced pairs of holes for receiving a pin therethrough for adjusting the height of the horizontal arm of the tube. A ball is mounted to a flexible support arm which in turn is inserted into the end of the horizontal arm which is attached to a rubber joint. The flexible support arm and other rubber components provide damping of torque forces generated when the ball is batted thereby preventing the base from being dislodged from the ground.
