Baseball bats equippable items in the EarthBound series. They are used as weapons in all of the EarthBound games, primarily in the first and second games.
Usage

Baseball bats are the signiture weapons of Ninten and Ness, who are the main protagonists of the first two games. In Mother 3 they are replaced with Sticks which serve a similar purpose as the signiture weapon of Lucas, however there are two bats that are still present in the game.

In the Super Smash Bros. series
Ness's bat
Ness uses a baseball bat for his forward smash in all six of the Super Smash Bros. games. His bat is not designed after a particular bat in the EarthBound series, it appears as a wooden baseball bat that has the words "Nett sports" inscribed on it. Throughout the series the tip of his bat is the strongest part, where it deals the most damage and knockback compared to other places, whereas the weakest part is towards the handle. It also has a unique property where it will reflect projectiles with correct timing.
Home-Run Bat
While not listed as an EarthBound series item, the Home-Run Bat is often said to have been based off of the bats from the EarthBound series. The Home-Run Bat acts as a normal battering item when used normally, however when using a forward smash while holding it, the player will perform a short wind-up and then swing. Because the wind-up often causes the player to miss an opponent, it is very difficult to hit an opponent this way. However when using the Home-Run Bat this way, it deals massive knockback to an opponent hit with it, making it an almost guaranteed one-hit KO attack. Much like Ness's bat, the tip is the strongest point and the handle is the weakest point.
It is often speculated that the one-hit KO smash attack from the Home-Run Bat is based off of when the characters land a hit, in particular Ninten and Ness as they primarily use baseball bats, as a is much more powerful than a regular hit. In addition, it is also possible that the difficulty in landing the one-hit KO hit with the Home-Run Bat is based off of the Casey bat, as the Casey bat's low accuracy causes the player to miss most of the time, however it also has the highest offense increasing value of all the bats in the game, allowing it to one-hit KO enemies often.
Trivia
- The Fake Bat has a separate attack sound effect from Lucas's usual combo sound effects.
- Hank's Bat is a reference to the home run king Hank Aaron.
- The Casey Bat's name and its high miss probability is a reference to the famous American poem Casey at the Bat
- An infamous mistake in the EarthBound Player's Guide states the Gutsy Bat is obtained from the Krakens in the Sea of Eden.
