You are thinking of the baseball bat. The ball itself is not a lever. The bat is a lever, in the sense that it magnifies the motion of your arms.
a baseball bat is a "lever" in the way that the ball comes off the bat. When the baseball makes contact with the bat, the bat gives, or bends. What causes the ball to then travel is when the bat snaps back into a straight object. Thus, the bat is, in a way, a lever.

It seems the baseball would be the load, the bat and your arm would together form a lever, and your shoulder would be the fulcrum.
