Abstract
A baseball training vest is disclosed for use in training baseball hitters to swing a baseball bat without dropping the trailing arm so far as to cause a poor swing. The vest includes a resilient pad formed to fit under the batter's trailing arm and includes a harness for adjustably securing the pad to the batter. A method of training a baseball batter in which the batter uses an arm guide to restrict the downward range of motion during batting practice is also disclosed.
