My Two Cents
Play 1 - Guess I would have to see the batter attempt to get out of the way. Did he pull the bat back and then ball hit the bat (foul ball , no out) or did he make any attempt to bunt and step backward with the ball hitting the bat ( foul ball, strike three, batter out).
Play 2 - Since 20 seconds has elapsed since the last pitch, strike three batter is out.
