O.K. umpires help me out with this one.
A slapper is running through the box and is attempting to bunt the ball...Most all the time the batter holds the bat with two hands...But in the case the batter runs slighty towards 1st base while running out of the box and reaches back for the ball with the bat, and drops the bat in mid air
in hopes that the ball will contact the bat...Or maybe tosses the bat towards the ball as it is approaching. Either case the bat is out of the batters hands during contact of the ball....What is the call and rule #?????
Thanks!!!!
