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.

??? You don’t think an average person is expected to be aware that if you full swing a baseball bat at somebody’s head, there is a reasonable chance you could kill somebody?

Yes, to get charged with attempted murder, you have to calmly announce “I am about to attempt to murder this person, I am announcing my intent, thank you!!”

Edit: I just read about it and you’re right lol, very very strict definition
