Abstract
A baseball bat has a composite bat body including a grip, a handle and a barrel extending from the handle. The baseball bat also includes a generally tubular, resilient sleeve having greater impact absorption and resistance characteristics than the composite bat body. The sleeve is disposed adjacent to an exterior of the barrel of the bat body. The baseball bat further includes a mechanism for interconnecting the bat body and sleeve in a coaxial relation such that a portion of the bat body overlaps the sleeve.
