I don't think the hats can give indication if this is or isn't a baseball-related tintype.
I won't venture to say if it is indeed a baseball tin or not. What if this dude didn't carry a bat?  'Equipment is king' when buying early images.

Tough question, but as cheap as it sold, you should just hang onto it.
I once bought a similar photo of a guy wearing a checkered belt, duo-tone shoes, and had a star on his shirt. There was no equipment. I sold it for about $50, then later spotted the exact same uniform on a player photo in one of the SABR publications, and was able to even i.d. the actual team he played for. I sold short.

Thanks everyone for the great information. It's a neat tintype especially for $40 and it sounds like some of these "sports" tintypes go unidentified especially without the actual equipment in hand. Thanks again!

Tintype - what sport if any?
Looks more like Cricket or some other sport, they must have been playing something with the style of the pants and belts

Maybe bicyclists? No way to know for sure.

I never associated the bowler hats with baseball and I'm not at all saying that it is baseball but it's interesting to see that bowler hats and baseball are not impossible based on Jimmy's great photo and this one.
