Baseball Swing Training Device

Abstract

A baseball swing training device for improving a user's swing speed. The baseball swing training device includes a handle having a first end and a second end, wherein a flexible, elongated strap extends outwardly from the second end thereof. The handle of the baseball swing training device resembles the handle of a traditional baseball bat. In operation, the user can swing the baseball swing training device in the conventional manner, wherein the elongated strap will whip around if the user properly rolls or rotates his or her wrists. Thus, the device helps to encourage players to incorporate wrist rotation into their swing in order to cause the baseball swing training device to have a whipping motion.
