I have taught batting for many years to players at many levels. One of the very first points of emphasis when you begin instructing any hitter is the grip, and what to look for. When you grip a bat properly, you place the handle down on the pads of your fingers and gently surround it. You see a V shape where the base of your thumb meets your hand. You don't want an O shape like you see in so many hitters who wrap their hands around the bat.
So now, in order to ensure a proper grip in young, developing hitters, Donny Baseball and his development team have come up with this magnificent idea for the handle, and there are those who want to rule it illegal! Why? It's almost beyond belief.
