Abstract: A baseball bat having a body portion and a handle portion which includes a pair of substantially planar regions spaced and inclined toward the midline of the handle portion. The grip improves batter skill and technical ability by teaching proper batting technique. The barrel of the baseball bat is configured to allow for repositioning and replacement of the barrel section of the bat if the barrel is damaged, to enable more even wear and tear on the portion of the barrel that comes in contact with a baseball, or to modify the performance level of the bat. The two segments of the bat may be securely connected via one end of the first segment having exterior threading received by the hollowed end of the second segment having interior threading, or by an independent coupling element.
