Abstract: A bat gripping apparatus includes a panel that has a top side, a bottom side, a first side edge, a second side edge, a top edge and a bottom edge. The panel comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers at least includes a bottom layer, a middle layer and a top layer. A coupler is configured to selectively secure the panel in a tubular configuration. A bat has a handle terminating in a butt. The panel is extended around the handle so that the bottom side abuts the bat and the bottom edge is positioned adjacent to the butt and the tubular configuration is attained. The panel is then secured in the tubular configuration with the coupler.
