Abstract
The invention relates to a device for training batters comprising a stand, a housing coupled to the stand and a plurality of lights disposed in the housing. There is also at least one processor in electrical communication with the lights for controlling the turning on and off of each of the plurality of lights to indicate that a pitch has been thrown. This device can also include a power supply in communication with the processor and the lights. The power supply can be a battery or any other Direct Current (DC) apparatus or an Alternating Current (AC) type device such as a plug into an outlet. The power supply can be used along with the processor to turn the lights on and off. To assist the power-supply and the processor there is a switch which is in communication with the processor and the plurality of lights. This switch is for turning on and off at least one of the plurality of lights.
