A baseball hitting/training device consisting of a hitting tee and a baseball. The ball is preferably permanently bonded/molded to a spring. In a preferred arrangement, the ball rests upon an upper tee shaft segment which acts to protect the spring. A length of the spring extends from the ball, through the upper tee shaft segment and into a middle tee shaft segment. A retainer fastens the spring to the middle tee shaft segment. The middle tee shaft segment is inserted into a lower tee shaft segment. The lower tee shaft segment is fixed to a base. When hit with a bat, the baseball remains attached to the tee by the spring and then springs back to its original upright position.
