It could either mean that Danny had a baseball bat which he used to hit the man. Or, Danny hit a man who had a baseball bat.

"with the baseball bat" is a prepositional phrase
that can be used like an "adjective" phrase
(to describe the "man" as having a baseball bat)
or an "adverb" phrase to describe "hit"
(how Danny "hit" the man using a baseball bat)

Ruth G is correct. This is an example of a dangling participle.
Another example would be "Joe dropped the vase on his foot and broke it."
Which did he break - the vase or his foot?
