Thank you, very helpful. I should have researched more before asking hastily.
The casebook seems to require that the bat be moved toward the pitched ball in order to register a strike. Very well then.

Had this happen in a game this week. The batter brought the bat around to bunt, dipped it below his waist at a pitch and then brought back. I stated "on the attempt, strike".
The batter questioned the call. I told him, 1. it was a strike anyway and 2. don't go after the pitch, change your mind and expect me to know what your intention was.
