I've called this a double dribble based on my understanding of the dribble def. 4.15.1
Am I right? If not, what am I missing?

No, you're not right. He didn't have possession. He batted the ball. He then gain control of it and then legally dribbled. The same principle applies to an offensibe player who receives a pass, bats it, controls it and then dribbles.
