Leagues that have bat slinging rules are generally concerned with safety. I had two last night in a Babe Ruth game, same batter both times. RH batter, after hitting the ball, the bat ends up against the backstop, on the right side, which means he finished his follow through and slung it while bringing it back and starting for 1B. I had one a week or so ago, whree a RH batter hit a ball, and released the bat at the top of his backswing and it hit me in the neck.
