Is a ball that hits the ground then hits a swinging bat considered a batted ball? For example, two strikes, F1 pitches ball in dirt, batter swings and makes contact after ball hit ground. Ball goes directly to catcher. Foul tip?

I cannot find any reference to states that a ball is no longer a batted ball just because it hit the ground first.

Yes, it's a batted ball.
