Hands are not part of the bat. If the pitch is a ball and batter gets hit in the hands ball is dead batter awarded first. Batter hit in the hands pitch is a strike or batter swings at it ball is dead and a strike is called. Batter swings at a pitch ball is "hit in fair territory" ball is dead and a strike is recorded.
