The mini version of a Louisville Slugger is only 18" long and 2" thick at the thickest and longest points. Having a glove and ball wouldn't give me any sort of deniability since the thing is so small that I can literally fit it in some of my pockets without it being seen.

There is no plausible deniability with this thing, I would have better deniability with an old school 6 D-cell Maglight. Hell even a 4 D-cell Maglight would have more mass than my cracker whacker.

The point of the thing was to make something that wouldn't set off metal detectors, and would look like a small stick that no one would need to look too closely at.
