Batting Donut Definition

A batting doughnut is a circular weight with a hole at the center. It slides around the knob of the baseball bat and is used to make the bat heavier. Batting doughnuts are commonly used by on deck players waiting their turn to step onto the plate. By warming up using a heavier bat, the standard bat feels lighter making them increase their swing velocity for a more powerful ball hit. So, why is called a doughnut? Well because it is shaped like one.

As players continue to get older and advance in baseball, they become exposed to a greater variety of batting weights which also come in a range of sizes.
