As has already been stated...there is no rule basis for calling a batter out for throwing the bat.

I also covered this issue in the NFHS class I facilitated earlier this week. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen umpires (mostly rec-level with little or no training) call a batter out for throwing a bat. They seem to think they need to "punish" the batter somehow....
