What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A baseball swing trainer apparatus, comprising:
 a first end section;   a second end section;   a hand grip section between the first end section and the second end section; and   a bat coupled to the first end section and to the second end section.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first end section and the second end section are integral to the baseball bat. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hand grip section is configured for gripping by a batter. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hand grip section and the bat are substantially parallel to an X-axis. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first end section and the second end section are substantially perpendicular to an X-axis and are substantially parallel to a Y-axis. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hand grip section and the end sections comprise a composite material. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hand grip section and the end sections are molded with a hand grip area of the bat. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bat is a composite bat. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bat is a composite wood bat. 
     
     
         10 . A baseball swing trainer apparatus, comprising:
 a first end section;   a second end section;   a hand grip section between the first end section and the second end section;   a first bat attacher coupled to the first end section; and   a second bat attacher coupled to the second end section.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the first bat attacher and second bat attacher are both removably coupled to a baseball bat. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the hand grip section is configured for gripping by a batter. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the batter grips the hand grip section and a baseball bat removably coupled to the apparatus. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the first bat attacher is removably coupled to the first end section by a first coupling member and the second bat attacher is removably coupled to the second end section by a second coupling member. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the hand grip section and end sections comprise at least one rigid material. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the hand grip section and end sections are separately formed components. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the hand grip section and end sections are integrated into a single component. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the bat attachers are flexible. 
     
     
         19 . A method of assembling a baseball swing trainer apparatus, the method comprising:
 providing a hand grip section, a first end section, and a second end section;   attaching the hand grip section to the first end section and to the second end section; and   attaching a baseball bat to the first end section and the second end section.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the hand grip section, the first end section, and the second end section comprises a composite material.
