The Bat is the default melee weapon for the Scout. It is an aluminium baseball bat sporting a rubber tape grip, a faded green oval label, and a large dent on its side.
The Bat does less damage per hit than any other stock melee weapon aside from the Knife, but swings 37.5% faster. It does one-third of the Scattergun's damage at point blank range. Players may choose to use this weapon to finish off an opponent when out of ammunition, while reloading, or simply for additional humiliation. Its critical hit animation depicts the Scout swinging it backhandedly.

Update history
April 29, 2008 Patch (Gold Rush Update)
- The Bat received new swing animations.
- Fixed this weapon's melee attack not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)
- Added Festive variant to the game.
- Fixed colors on Christmas lights for the Blue team Scout Festive Bats

Unused content
- A team-colored version of the Bat exists in the game files, bearing team logos instead of the faded green oval one seen in-game.
Trivia
- During the Team Fortress 2 Beta, a team-colored label was displayed on the Bat. Upon release, the label was changed to a faded green for both teams. This can still be seen in the weapon's bucket icons.
- The bat is made of aluminium. The first aluminium baseball bat was made in the 1970s, at least two years after this game ostensibly takes place.
