Answer is: the force that the baseball exerts on the bat and the force that the bat exerts on the baseball are the same magnitude.

This is Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I n every interaction there is two forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Hitting a baseball with bat would cause the force that the baseball exerts on the bat and the force that the bat exerts on the baseball are the same magnitude. This is due to Newton's third law which is related to physics. Newton's third law states that to every action there is always an equal but opposite reaction.
