wat the fuck that dont look like no bat...wheres the barrel at??

[HarrisonArcenal]

it's a fungo... it's a bat used for coaches during drills/practice.

It helps the coach hit the ball without using most of his strength. With the way this designed, the bat does most of the work. Rather than an old man huffing and puffing after 4 swings.

That is not a fungo. Read the description.

It's not a fungo bat. Those are much longer. Like the fellow said, this was a style of bat used in the 1880's where the barrel wasn't much bigger than the handle. The guys didn't hit for power back in those days.

Vintage bats from times when players like Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie played looked like that.

Is there a reason for the very short bevel on his roughing tool?
