the bat slows down when it hits the ball and then it flies into the air

It is equivalent to the change in momentum of the ball.
A bat hitting a baseball is an elastic collision which means there is a transfer of momentum from the bat to the ball. Since momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity, a higher mass means more momentum. However, you also must consider that it is harder to swing a heavier bat and therefore it will travel slower and therefore have less momentum.

All things being equal, the bat, the ball, the force used etc., the same thing that happens when a boy hits a ball with a bat.
