I'm open to a formal ruling or interp that Mike might know, but until then I see that bat as belonging to the defensve team. You, as PU, told the defensive coach to remove the bat. The defense is now responsible for that bat being on the playing field and responsible for any blocked ball type of situation that it causes. As I see this situation, the offense was responsible for the bat UNTIL you gave the defense's coach the command and responsibility to remove the bat.
