A batting practice device which comprises an elongated support arm having fastening means at one end for securing the support arm to the side of a post. The fastening means includes an elongated chain which may be wrapped around the post and has one end thereof releasably retained on the support arm against a sliding movement of the chain. The other end of the chain is connected to a bolt which may be drawn through a handle as the handle is rotated to tighten the chain against the post. A ball is suspended from the support arm by an eyelet containing cord to serve as a target for batting practice. A handle which is releasable by hand holds the ball on a reduced diameter stud member at a free end of the support arm.
