A baseball bat is a blunt melee weapon.
Usage
Weapon
The baseball bat is particularly effective against lone zombies. It usually won't kill a standing zombie in one hit, but it has a high chance to knock them down, allowing players to follow up with a killing blow.
The baseball bat also has a long range (for a melee weapon), and is capable of keeping a small group of zombies at a distance while delivering killing blows. It is capable of hitting up to 2 zombies at once with Multi-Hit enabled. The baseball bat has a decent durability with 15 Max Condition and a low chance to lose durability when used. It's one of the better melee weapons in the game, and a great starter weapon.
Breaking doors
The baseball bat is not too effective at bashing down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Chopping trees
The baseball bat is not recommended to cut trees, as it will only deal 1 damage to a tree per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Condition
The baseball bat is a blunt weapon, therefore being influenced by the Long blunt skill, as well as Strength and Fitness. It has a maximum condition of 15 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (20 + maintenance x 2)
