I don't disagree with you, I just wonder where it stops.

The catcher is generally setting up for a throw at the plate and the bat poses no danger to him. The pitcher is generally running around the home plate area to back up the throw home and the bat poses no danger to him either. Both have plenty of time to see it, the catcher will often move it himself. The runner is the only one who is running hard toward HP and if a bat is in his way it is more hazardous to him than to the catcher or the pitcher.
