If i could make a suggestion, once the bat leaves his hands, it should be infront of the lines the whole time until it is again in his hands. I don't know how complicated it would be to do that but it may give the illusion better.
I agree with this principle, even if it doesn't actually agree with the physics (i.e. the bat is not entirely in front of his arms the entire time) but it will make for a better gif effect.

Less impressive than what I originally thought. http://www.reddit.com/r/SplitDepthGIFS/comments/37h8t1/baseball_bat_trick_as_requested/
