t-ball

Preschool batting game

T-ball is a simplified version of baseball for young children, typically ages four to six.

Instead of a pitcher throwing the ball, it rests on an adjustable rubber tee at home plate, allowing batters to hit a stationary target: My daughter started t-ball this spring.

The game introduces basic skills—hitting, fielding, base running—without the difficulty of tracking a moving pitch.
