The baseball bat, referred to as MVP, has been added in the March 21, 2016 update, and is statistically similar to the other melee weapons. Upon getting a kill with the MVP, the sound of audience cheering can be heard, and when pressing the reload button the player will make a pointing gesture (similarly to Babe Ruth).
