Carelessly throw the bat away from the catcher and myself, I don't care.
Throw it in our vicinity with force, and I care.
What I will do is leave the bat where it is (particurally if it is at the backstop), call time when the play is completely over, then walk over to the manager and tell him to take a look at where that bat ended up. Gets the message across firmly, but courteously.
Next time Johnny comes up, everybody will remind him "When you hit the ball, drop the bat". Including myself...
Like I said, if he is flipping it off to the sides I don't care one bit.
