A tethered ball rotationally mounted such that upon rotation of a handle mounted wand from which the tethered ball dangles, centrifugal motion raises the ball to a position of delivery to a batter to swing at the ball. The wand is an L-shaped spring steel rod rotatably mounted in the handle. The rod extends into, and is secured to, a braided cord to which the ball is tethered.

An apparatus for improving the eye hand coordination of a softball or baseball batter comprising: a handle, adapted to be held generally vertically, a flexible rod mounted in said handle for rotational movement, about a generally vertical axis, said rod including a terminal portion mounted in said handle, and a main body portion extending 90°from said terminal portion, and having a distal end in the main body portion, a rope having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being longer than the second portion, and the second portion being shorter than the main body portion of the rod, said main portion of the rod being disposed within said rope\s first portion, and a ball simulating a baseball or softball attached to the end of the second portion of the rope dangling from the distal end of the rod, whereby upon swirling of the handle vertically the flexible rod rotates in a generally horizontal plane, and the dangling portion of rope with the ball attached moves by centrifugal force outwardly toward a horizontal disposition for a batter to hit the ball.
