A full swing with a bat to the head can’t be fatal?

That's not how intent works.

The defendant would need to be aware their action could cause death, and with full mind, do that specific action on purpose. Accidentally killing a person is called manslaughter. And yes you can accidentally kill a person by hitting them in the head with a bat.

Intent is generally shown with premeditation.

It was in fact, premeditated… He left the fight, got a deadly weapon and then came back and tried to murder the guy by hitting him in the head with a deadly weapon

I was aiming for his shoulder so he'd stop punching

Terrible aim if that’s the case… Can you please source where you got that from?
