A reinforcing member is provided within the handle portion of a wooden bat to prevent the heavy barrel portion from separating from the handle and flying through the air with possible injury to onlookers in the event of bat breakage upon impact with a ball. The reinforcing member is of less stiffness than is the wood of the bat so as to not change the flexing characteristics of the bat and is of small diameter and low specific gravity so as to avoid noticeable change in the weight and balance of the bat.
