A Wooden Baseball Bat​. Yes Just a Wooden Baseball Bat

maybe not this exact model.

Babe Ruth would be rolling in his grave if he saw what you were swinging in the batter's box - science's latest alloys, sweet spots bigger than the moon, and even ROTATING FREAKING HANDLES.

If the Bambino could have used one of those bats back in the day he would have hit 1500 homeruns. 

But no, Babe Ruth used a wooden bat, and so does every single professional baseball player.

Why Are Wooden Bats Good For Training With?​

Because it's harder to hit with them.

Wooden baseball bats are heavier, have smaller sweet spots, have less pop, and just overall require a greater level of skill to use properly.​

And that's why you should never take batting practice again without a wooden bat in your hands. ​

You don't have to use it in a game. In fact, if you don't have to, you shouldn't. But if you're taking your batting practice cuts with one of these bad boys, you'll learn how to square up the ball more often.

Nobody likes hitting weak ground balls and shallow pop flys (especially in batting practice). Yet the more you use a wooden bat, the less of those you'll be hitting. You'd be surprised at how quickly you'll adjust to the smaller sweet spot on a wooden bat.
