Both sides of the bat handle were made to look like a lightsaber handle, the weapon used by jedis in the films.
Henderson did not use it in Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, as the design doesn’t conform to MLB standards., most of the Orioles’ young stars are fans of the Star Wars movies and television shows, and the Orioles played that up going into the game on Saturday, having their young stars wield lightsabers for a promotion on social media.
