/bat/

EN: bat (sports equipment)
The wooden or metal stick you use to hit a ball in baseball. Not the flying animal ('paniki'), and not the start of a province name ('Batangas'). It's a direct loanword, used as is in sports contexts.
From English "bat".
Used almost exclusively in the context of sports like baseball and softball. The Tagalog word for the animal is 'paniki'.
