In Dixie, it's normally taken that an out for a thrown bat happens when the batter flings the bat as part of the follow-through after a hit. I can see the reasoning - safety. An airborne bat is much more dangerous than a lot of the other things prohibited in many jurisdictions for safety reasons. 3 Feet is definitely not enough ... and tossing it to the dugout is not either.
