Now you will draw out the entire shape of the bat like you see here, and remember when I said I was going to tell you what the parts where to the bat, here it is; the thickest part of the bat is called the barrel, this is the part of the bat that the batter uses to strike the ball. Players call this area the 'sweet spot'. The bottom of the bat is called the handle, and the top of the bat is called the tip or top. Color a solid band going up the handle of the bat like so.
