Realistically speaking, the knife wins.

Bats need a certain degree of force to cause damage. You just can't touch someone with the bat, you need to swing it and generate speed. If you miss your swing you're wide open to retaliation.

Knives can cause lethal damage without exerting force or needing a lot of space: think about how easy it is to slice a tomato or a piece of steak.

Any idiot swinging wildly with a knife can kill. Swinging wildly with a baseball bat can have consequences for the swinger.

I mean if you aim for the body sure. If you aim for the head, a bat is devastating even without a full powered swing. Though the knife wielder if smart, can sacrifice an arm to take the blow and then get into knife range...
