Dukat,
Hands are not part of the bat wording is in all softball rules I have seen, but not FED baseball. However FED 8-1-1-d states a batter becomes a runner when a pitched ball hits his person or clothing, provided he does not strike at the ball. You will have to tell your cousin that he must use some common sense and realize "hands are part of the person", and not "part of the bat". Even dumb ole baseball people oughta be able to grasp that concept! (I know, but I am a dumb ole baseball person!)
