ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for improving batting a baseball is provided. The apparatus includes at least one hollow tube and at least one substantially solid tube, both formed with openings at opposing ends. A handle is removably attachable to one end of the tubes. A plug is insertable into one opening in the tubes for eliminating bat deformation from ball-to-bat impacts. A cap is included in the other end of the tubes for controlling acoustics, thus providing a sound on ball-to-bat impact comparable to that of conventionally dimensioned wood bats. A grip knob is provided at one end of the handle for restraining hands during swinging. A compressible sleeve is slidably engageable with the handle for providing a hand grip. The apparatus and method for improving batting is used in combination with a training regimen to improve batting skills.
