weighted bat

Heavy swing trainer

A weighted bat is a baseball or softball bat made heavier than standard, used during practice swings or warm-ups to build strength and make a regular bat feel lighter by comparison.

Players often swing a weighted bat in the on-deck circle before stepping up to hit: He took a few cuts with the weighted bat while waiting his turn.
