About This Machine

Batting Practice is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally Manufacturing Corporation, model number 635, built around a baseball theme for two players. No production date is documented in available records, but the game reflects Bally's history of producing sports and novelty-themed bat games.

As a 'bat game,' Batting Practice would have used a bat-style striker mechanism rather than traditional flippers, with the player's objective to hit targets and score points in a baseball-inspired layout. Bally would revisit similar mechanics with its 1959 title 'Targets,' a comparable replay game.

Limited documentation survives about Batting Practice's specific design, artwork, or original release date, leaving much about this machine still to be uncovered by collectors and historians.
