Not in any game I am working.

The OP situation is a batter swinging the bat well before the ball reaches the plate - so much well before that the batter is able to make a second swing and hit the ball.
It has nothing to do with your situation. The post I was responding to said it was a strike because the bat passed through the zone (even though the pitch was, say, 30' away and the batter was obviously NOT trying to strike at the ball).
Your situation, I would just call a poor swing, and a strike.
