Ya that is not fake. There is a kid on our baseball team who can almost do it, but he can never get it all the way around and ends up catching the barrel of the bat or dropping it( like most of the time lol).

He is right, it look fake

he is moving his hands just like he would normally when not spinning the bat, also it is moving way to fast for the amount of power he is giving it.


Try spinning M1s, you would know.

Look closely. Just before he throw bat, his hands moves back to spin it. And because of bat's center of gravity shifted toward thick part, handle move faster.

I wouldnt call it "crazy skill", by the way. Just need some practice, like most tricks.

Yep, it's a cool inertia trick, and similar to lasso tricks at the rodeo or a juggler at the circus.
