Baseball Multi-Tee Training System

Abstract

Certain embodiments herein relate to a baseball multi-tee training system that comprises a base that is attached to a vertically extending tube. The baseball multi-tee training system further comprises an upper rotatable collar that is disposed around the vertically extending tube that attaches an upper horizontal arm to the vertically extending tube, and a lower rotatable collar that is disposed around the vertically extending tube that attaches a lower horizontal arm to the vertically extending tube. Disposed at each end of the upper horizontal arm are one or more upper ball supports that each supports a ball. Similarly, disposed at each end of the lower horizontal arm is one or more lower ball that each support a ball, where the ball supported by each of the upper ball supports and the lower ball supports do not cause an obstruction in relation to each other.
