If you are a WPW regular you know these very well. Used by tons of Big Leaguers to prevent you from “choking” the bat by holding it too deep in your hands.
We see this all over the place. It helps keep the bat from getting too deep in Pablo’s hands so he can get that flick-of-da-wrist.
Crawford is one of hundreds of Big Leaguers that wears one of these to prevent the hitter from “choking” the bat (holding it too deep in your hands and not in your fingers). They’re available just like Crawford’s.
Escobar uses the ProHitter hitting aid to maximize bat speed. It helps prevent you from “choking” the bat, or holding it too tight/deep in your hands. Get yours at the link. (Photo from Spring Training 2015)
Another ProHitter believer. These are one of the most popular items for hitters in the Big Leagues.
Lots of these worn by Big League veterans and clearly the ProHitter is gaining the confidence of young players too. Get it at the link.

Harper uses the ProHitter in white. Various colors are available.
