A multifunctional baseball pitching apparatus includes a base, a housing, a ball-feeding wheel, an inner seat, a hitting rod, a driving device, and an adjusting device. The baseball pitching apparatus adopts the adjusting device to adjust the preload force of a hitting rod and is provided with a plurality of adjusting gears so that the user can perform setting according to requirements, thereby realizing different hitting heights and distances and meeting different needs for hitting baseballs. The baseball pitching apparatus is fully automated, which provides great convenience for training.

A baseball swing training device has a base, a support member adjustably connected to the base, and a suction assembly disposed in the base that extends through and out of the support member to hold a ball in a stationary position. The suction assembly includes a coil vacuum hose disposed within the support member, and connected to a vacuum pump assembly, and an elongated hose connected to the coil vacuum hose at one end, and removeably connected to a suction nozzle at an opposite end.

Disclosed are a screen baseball system, in which a pitching machine installed behind a screen pitches a ball toward a batting area through a pitching hole formed in the screen and a user hits the ball in the batting area, configured such that the case in which a virtual pitcher in an image projected on the screen is a left-handed pitcher and the case in which the virtual pitcher is a right-handed pitcher are realized when a ball is pitched through a single pitching hole, whereby the user who hits the ball in the batting area is capable of experiencing the pitch from the left-handed pitcher and the pitch from the right-handed pitcher, and a method of realizing a left-handed pitcher and a right-handed pitcher using the same.

This invention released a ball training machine for athletes. This machine is based on the principle of flywheel energy storage and flywheel ball batting. The flywheel is driven by the external rotor motor and rotates along the center shaft. The machine consists of the all parts include convey pipe, launching pipe, drop pipe and ball collection funnel to perform all the actions from ball collection to the ball launch. The push lever in the machine cooperates with the convex ramp and convex and coordinate the ball in position and ball batting. The damp ring in the machine will make the ball spin in any direction.

The present invention provides a screen baseball system including a pitching machine that shoots a baseball, a screen, having a screen hole through which the baseball passes, and a screen shutter including a safety screen configured to close the screen hole. The present invention can fundamentally prevent a safety incident from occurring during a screen baseball game.

A training device for ball sports comprises a launching structure comprising an aperture sized and shaped to allow balls to pass linearly through the aperture along the central axis of the aperture, and a launching means configured to contact a ball within the aperture at a plurality of contact locations spaced around the surface of the ball, and to drive the ball through the aperture, and; a supporting means configured to support the launching structure above a surface; the launching structure and supporting means configured such that in use the launching structure can be rotated about the central axis to alter the position of the contact locations.

A ball pitching device including a launching surface for receiving balls, the launching surface being configured to receive and hold a ball in the launching position prior to the ball being launched, a launching system including at least one impulse mechanism configured to impact the ball in the launching position, and one or more control components configured to control at least one of a pitch power and a pitch trajectory of the ball launched from the launching position.

A ball trainer with a launcher function and a dropper function is provided. The ball trainer includes: a dropper unit that is disposed on one side in a housing and is formed in a holder shape capable of dropping a ball downward, the dropper unit including a storage space with a variable length in which two or more balls are stored; a launcher unit that is disposed on the other side in the housing and launches a ball which is received from outside; a control module that selectively controls the dropper unit and the launcher unit depending on an operation mode;

and a communication module that is connected to the control module and transmits a signal received from the outside in a wireless or wired manner.

Systems and methods of ball tossing machines. Ball tossing machines having reconfigurable joints are contemplated. Embodiments having dynamically articulating joints create tossing arms that mimic human arms completing underhanded tosses. In other embodiments, the tossing arm's elbow and fingers can be locked into place and pivoted about a shoulder to accomplish a basic tossing motion with an altered effective tossing arm length.

A shooting system includes a collapsible ball capture support adapted to support a ball capture device and a ball return. The ball return detects a ball captured by the ball capture device and returns the ball to a user in response to the detected ball. To return the ball to the user, the system identifies a location of the user with respect to the shooting system, orients the ball return toward the user, and accelerates the ball along a trajectory based on a distance between the user and the shooting system.
