PONY 10-1-e says that when a pitched ball touches any part of the batter's person or clothing whether the ball was struck at or not.
The "play" in PONY book says “B1 swings at a pitched ball and the ball hits her hand while holding the bat."
The "ruling” a Strike shall be called and the ball will be dead. the hand is not part of the bat
NCAA 11.16.2.3 “ The ball touches any part of the batter’s person as she swings and misses for a third strike
Effect: the ball is dead, the batter is out, and each runner must return to the base last legally occupied at the time of the pitch
hope this could help a little
