In theory, yes.
In practice, no.
Oliver Adams
Yeah, you might not like what happens though.
Connor Phillips
For exactly the same effect as just having a bat in the path of the meteor.
Wyatt Rivera
How so?
Develop your hypothesis
Jason Mitchell
It's there a movie, tv show, or anime that features this very thing? Oh right, it was a comic...
Isaac Long
You mean like if you were somehow floating in the upper atmosphere and it whizzed by?
If it was small enough you could whack it with a bat, sure. It would have to be so small you wouldn't be able to see it coming though.
Joseph Richardson
Flcl did something slightly similar
Jacob Flores
Small meteors can travel pretty slowly through the atmosphere reaching the ground cold. It's entirely possible to hit a small enough meteor with a baseball bat. How you see it is another question entirety.
Luke Cox
No. The impact would smash your bat to smithereens.
