baseball can be a boring sport, players need to entertain each other somehow - that's just the tip of the iceburg as far as bat tricks go

Now if he can do that when a ball is coming at him and hit it...I'll give him my first born child.

Same basic idea, interrupting the movement.

Seems pretty plausible, I mean there's practically no weight in the handle of a bat so he's really using the weight of the front to spin in space, activated by jerking the handle back. I guess it's not too much different from spinning pizza dough?

If you watch him closely, he jerks the bat perfectly to counter the forward momentum and causes it to spin in place briefly. Very well done stunt!

A similar stunt that's great for the summer, take a 12 ounce soda can and fill it about 4/5 full with water (for practicing, you WILL get wet while learning it) fling the can up in the air with just enough torque to make it spin twice before catching it, too slow/too fast of a spin and the trick won't work. Go on, practice. Now, once you've mastered it, go show off and get your friends to try it (Bonus points if they get coke all over themselves, stand back

If that guy could figure out how to do that with multiple bats, he could probably get a genius grant for juggling.

Well.... hmm... ok then. That was pretty awesome if it's real.

It's doctored, right? It looks choppy but is that just the low quality of the camera?
