[Star Wars] Does deflecting blaster fire with a saber feel like hitting an object with a baseball bat, or does it just bounce off?

Although a blaster bolt is just a blob of plasma contained within a magnetic sheath, there is still kinetic energy in the bolt. A person redirecting blaster fire with a lightsaber would feel a little bump as they hit it, but it would be much smaller than your idea of hitting a baseball, probably more like hitting a pingpong ball.
