Majorette and cheerleader batons aren't designed for combat, but in fiction they can be turned into an Improvised Weapon. They could be used as a blunt weapon, a Matchstick Weapon (if it's a fire baton), or maybe as a Magic Wand of some sort. This trope is about any instances when majorette/cheerleader batons are used in battle.
Compare Magic Wand, Batter Up!, Martial Arts Staff, and Spectacular Spinning. See also Frills of Justice. Not to be confused with Lawman Baton.

Wand-type weapons in Phantasy Star Online are based on batons (with one tier of weapons explicitly called Baton). Their animation tends to be a bit spinnier than most weapons.

Kohaku Hearts from Tales of Hearts uses a baton-ish staff and during her idle animations sometimes twirls them. She can enhance her baton with flames and then uses them in conjunction with kicks. And offensive magic. And some healing magic.

Pokémon Sun and Moon introduces Alolan Marowak, a Fire-type regional variant of the bone-wielding Marowak. It uses its bone not only as a club, but as a fire baton. In fact, Kiawe's trial features a group of Alolan Marowak showing off their baton-twirling skills.

Lux from League of Legends uses a baton in conjunction with her magic. You'd be forgiven if you mistook it for a magic staff, though, especially since most of her skins actually do make it a staff.

A number of the attack items in Sailor Moon could qualify, even though none are explicitly stated to be majorette batons, but are rather referred to as wands, sticks or rods. In particular Sailor Moon's Spiral Heart Moon Rod is depicted as 'baton-like', as in the anime Sailor Moon's attacks with it are accompanied by a significant amount of wand-twirling, that she doesn't do nearly so much with the other items she had previously or she gains afterward.
