An aluminum baseball or softball bat warmer with an inner and outer container separated by an air space. The inner container is adapted to receive a bat and is supported inside the outer container on a hanger with an aperture. A convective thermal source is positioned below the hanger. Warmed air from the convective thermal source is directed through the aperture in the hanger and circulates through the air space, warming the sidewall of the inner container and the bat therein. By heating the aluminum bat, the possibility of cold denting and cracking thin walled aluminum bats formed of “CU-31”alloy, “C405”alloy or like, is reduced.

A warmer for an aluminum baseball or softball bat comprising an inner elongated container with a restricted bottom, a sidewall and an open top, said container adapted to receive a baseball or softball bat lengthwise, an outer elongated container with a bottom end, a sidewall and an open top, said outer container surrounding the inner container with a space between the sidewalls of the inner and outer containers forming an air flow passage between said containers, a hanger attached inside the outer container for mounting the inner container at its restricted bottom, said hanger having an aperture and spaced above the bottom end of the outer container forming a compartment, and a convective heat source in the compartment whereby warmed air from the convective heat source is directed through the aperture in the hanger and circulates through the air flow passage warming the sidewall of the inner container and thereby warming a baseball or softball bat received in said inner container.
