Just finished perusing my Dixie book, again. There is no official rule anywhere in the Dixie book, which is based off of OBR, about slinging teh bat. Some leagues have it as a local option, ours does not. This applies to 9-12 and 13-14 yr old leagues.
Now there is a batslinging rule in the 7-8 yr old machine/coach pitch rules. It calls for a warning to be given to the player on the first occurance and an out for any subsequent.
I personally think its a bat habit for players to develop. I say this because I've been hit by bats being slung after a hit while calling the plate.
