If I had ever tried that trick the only thing I would have gotten for my pains is pain when the bat hit my hands. This demonstrates a very high level of eye hand coordination.

Which made me think instantly it was a fake. But having watched it a few times, even I think it's just a wild skill. However, the bat does spin odd for an item that is heavy on one side. This definitely needs some experimentation. Let me put on my steel gloves from my suit of armor and I'll get right on it. The first time I saw this promoted was on Alyssa Milano’s twitter.

Takes some good eye/hand coordination. But, I know most of you wouldn't know anything about that given that you're all still trying to master touch typing. Actually a pretty cool skill.

It may be a bit showman, but it's not steroids and it works. It takes a lot of eye/hand to connect with a 98 mph fastball using a sliver of wood. And as Jose' Lima has said before, you can "believe it..." I’ve gotta think that the eye/hand coordination necessary to do this repeatedly is a useful skill in baseball.
