A mounting plate includes a plurality of support cylinders mounted orthogonally to the mounting plate, wherein each support cylinder is arranged to receive a baseball at its upper end. Each cylinder is of a tubular construction to accommodate the baseball sphere and each cylinder including a coil spring mounted therewithin, with each coil spring including a plurality of spring rods fixedly mounted to adjacent coils of the spring. One of the spring rods is arranged for receiving a hook member, a lower distal end of the hook member secured to a suction cup. The suction cup is initially adhered to the mounting plate within the lower distal end of the cylinder, and each suction cup of each support cylinder arranged for randomly releasing the spring to project the spring upwardly to project the associated baseball from the support cylinder with an axial of an individual attempting to strike. A modification of the invention includes the plate adjustably mounted relative to an underlying support in an angular orientation thereto, and further including an adjuster mechanism to alter adherence of each suction cup relative to the mounting plate.

A batting trainer apparatus, comprising, a mounting plate, the mounting plate including a planar top surface, and tubular support cylinders fixedly and orthogonally secured to the mounting plate planar top surface, and a baseball positioned on an upper distal end of each support cylinder in a first position, and ball propelling means secured within each support cylinder to project each baseball from each support cylinder randomly, and each support cylinder includes an access opening directed through each support cylinder adjacent an intersection of each support cylinder with the mounting plate top surface to permit a user to secure said ball propelling means to said mounting plate, said ball propelling means includes an annular coil spring mounted within each cylinder spaced above a lower distal end of each cylinder, said spring includes a support flange fixedly mounted to an upper distal end of each spring for effecting impact of the baseball to project the baseball from the first position to the second position, and said ball propelling means further includes a plurality of parallel spring rods, the spring rods are integrally mounted in a parallel relationship to adjacent coils of the spring, and a hook member, the hook member selectively secured to one of the spring rods, and the hook member includes a hook member rod directed downwardly relative to the hook member, and the hook member rod including a rod lower distal end, and a suction cup, the suction cup including a support boss, and the rod lower distal end directed through the support boss when the suction cup is positioned in adjacency to the mounting plate planar top surface and arranged for securement to the mounting plate planar top surface, whereupon subsequent release of the suction cup relative to the mounting plate planar top surface effects release of the coil spring.
