Nope: not on this one.
Careless: warn and eject for further violations.
That said, I have previously been in something of a pi$$ing match with a certain well-known internet umpire guru for my comment that I have never SEEN a "careless" toss of a bat by HS-age players: many careFUL throws, amid a number of clearly INTENTIONAL throws, some of which were quite dangerous, and not a few of them angry or even malicious: different rule for those.
