Popularized by baseball coaches all over the world, the fungo bat is a training essential for improving players’ fielding skills. But what exactly is a fungo bat and who should be using them?

Fungo bats are relatively lightweight training bats used by coaches and parents during fielding practice. They serve the purpose of simulating in-game hits to help position players work on their fielding. Fungo drills require the coach or parent to perform constant repetitions of tossing a ball into the air and hitting it to players during fielding practice. Due to its light weight, the fungo bat is favorited among most baseball coaches. Wooden bats used for batting practice or games typically weigh somewhere between 31-34 ounces and can lead to fatigue while running drills. It’s not recommended to do fungo drills with a normal sized bat. The fungo bat is also designed with a longer length and thinner barrel diameter and will weigh somewhere between 22-24 ounces. These features allow coaches and parents to hit with more control and accuracy.
