Read 6.05(h) VERY carefully:

6.05h A batter is out when
(h) After hitting or bunting a fair ball, his bat hits the ball a second time in fair territory.



If the BALL hits the BAT - nothing - foul ball.

If the BAT hits the BALL - then you can do something IF it happened over fair territory.

Given that the convention for a batter getting hit by a batted ball while still in the box (even the fair part) is FOUL, then you probably should call it foul then too.
