Changed baseball_bat to cricket_bat which this clearly is.

Except for the fact that it's actually a hockey stick.

I'm saying that because I've read the manga, even though I agree that it doesn't really look like a hockey stick here.

it looks fairly like a field hockey stick.

Too much tape to be a baseball bat, although the geometry of it otherwise lends itself to that. Not much of a cricket bat at all. Motion to hockey stick approved.

Wait! If this is a hockey stick, it can only be a goalie's stick.
