Solution to Broken Bat Injuries in MLB
Keeping the integrity of a solid wood bat unchanged yet making it less prone to shattering has been a solution that many people have been searching for. The brilliant thing about this invention is that it's transparent to the eye, lighter than paper, and best of all the players hands never even touch it. The Bat Glove can be installed at the point of manufacture or can be applied by the player or any other person prior to the bat being used in less than 30 seconds. It’s just tape and already allowable in game-play under MLB Rule 1.10
1 - MLB allows any type of adhesive tape or pine tar to be placed on a bat for the purposes of grip. Those items can be applied no more than 18” above the handle of the bat.
2 - The Bat Glove is nothing more than adhesive polymeric film. It was scientifically engineered to be applied to a portion of the lower 18” of a solid wood bat.
3 - The Bat Glove contains flying debris when solid-wood bats shatter thus increasing and maintaining the players grip on the bat even when it breaks into multiple pieces.
4 - The Bat Glove meets or exceeds MLB Official Rules 1.10
(c) The bat handle, for not more than 18 inches from its end, may be covered or treated with any material or substance to improve the grip. Any such material or substance, which extends past the 18 inch limitation, shall cause the bat to be removed from the game.
