Innings, Runs, Outs, Drives, Check Swings etc and why do they call that baton shaped stick a ‘Bat’?
sorry, couldnt get a decent answer but, term bat in cricket was invented in early 1600s. baseball “bat” was invented in mid 1800s, cricket and rounders were both originated from a game called stoolball.

from rounders came baseball, so essentially Bat is a Cricket Term and will always be a Cricket Term.
but still not sure why other cricketing terms are still used in baseball.
