How Baseball Bat and Shovel stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The franchise's signature street weapon — a wooden bat that stuns and downs pedestrians in two or three swings. Used in early Grove Street missions and easy to pick up around basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and gang turf.

Introduced for the gravedigger sequence in "Body Harvest," the shovel becomes a permanent melee option afterwards. Found on Back-O-Beyond ranches, behind rural houses, and at the Las Venturas burial scenes.
