Abstract
The Batting Machine is a device used during baseball practice to help players develop a level and more powerful swing. It is composed of a batting post with an attached target pad which is attached to a base frame by a pivot rod and a pneumatic retracting mechanism. The frame works to keep balance and control of the moving parts. The batting post operates as you swing and hit the pad connected to it. Once the batting post is hit it will move back and downward between the frames legs where a rubber band strap restrains it from going any further. Then the pneumatic retracting mechanism connecting the frame and the batting post returns the batting post to the starting position where it is ready to be struck again.
