If you had a pretty fast pitcher in, how long could the kid have been holding the bat still? Did he put it out there before the pitch started? With a faster pitcher, this sounds more and more like a very slow swing to me. Especially if the ball actually went forward on the last pitch (imagine a bat held straight out very weakly at the handle - hit it with a fast pitch. The bat's going to be knocked backward and the ball straight down at best --- if that ball rolled forward, I can't imagine that happening without forward motion from the bat.)
Nice aim by your pitcher to hit the bat 10 times, by the way, considering all that space in the strikezone not occupied by bat.
