Above that age it is definitely CI with a penalty. Delayed dead ball and send the batter to first unless the ball is hit and the batter acheives first base anyway.

I disagree. If the problem is only occuring with one batter who is using an odd positioning and routine, I suspect the batter is trying to draw this call. Kill the play when it happens. If it continues to happen, judge who is causing it (which player is not acting normally) and tell them to cut it out. This, of course, only applies to contact that occurs on the backswing.
