NFHS Rules Only.
Mark, Jr., and I have watched this video and by rule the ball is live and when the action ended the Batter/Runner is safe at 1B.
The video shows the Batter swinging and missing for Strike 3. The pitch hits F2's glove and F2 fails to catch the pitch. The ball ricochets from F2's glove and makes contacts with the Batter's bat on the Batter's follow through. Nothing illegal has happened per NFHS Baseball Rules.
