Abstract

A batting swing improvement device is provided which includes a line, a bat, and the bat having at least one slot spanning the line. In addition, balls may be strung on the line and thrust along the line by a rod to replicate a pitch. A person may then swing the bat, and if properly swung, the line will enter the slot in the bat and the bat will hit the ball. Furthermore, the line may be manipulated and/or positioned to replicate different pitches.
