Hit-a-way advice wanted

Advice requested regarding the Hit a way trainer.

I bought a Hit-a-way softball trainer and need to get a pole for it.

The basketball pole here is too big and the thing falls off.

The Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo sells for around $100 and is out of my price range. I've tried shopping around the internet for a cheaper price for this item, but with no success.

Anyway, I'm looking for another alternative, because $100 for a poll seems a bit steep.

The pole in concrete seems like a plan.

Anyway, I'm guessing someone here has one of these and might have solutions for this project.

Thanks.
