Booker, if you are calling by ASA, USSSA, or NFHS rules, then this is incorrect. All of these sanctioning bodies clearly state that the batter must offer at the pitch. The mere act of holding the bat stationary is not an offer. There must be some sort of a push, or movement in the direction of the ball.
