They love bats because they have no sharp edges both literally and societally. No one is seriously for baseball bat regulation. You can walk into a store and buy one and think "Yeah...these capitalist swine don't know that I'm getting this to defend myself from fascism."Baseball bats are the "be gay do crimes" weapon. Just that makes me think in lame antifas posers rather than just copying earthbound

But with a gun or knife... that's problematic. Guns are self explainitory, but knives are also obviously designed to kill people. We can't kill people explicitly, that's a bad guy thing. I'm a good guy with my secret bat.
But bats can kill people, too, the fascists cry. However they are wrong. Like in Hotline Miami bats are a non-lethal weapon. I may break your arm bashing the fash but I still have the moral high ground for using a "less lethal" weapon.
The psychology of the choice of weapons by groups like antifa is very interesting. It is almost entirely around destroying things from windows to bones to buildings. It is reflected in their art.
