Is it reasonable to hold the batter accountable for discarding the bat in an area the ball probable should not have been only to have the ball hit the bat?

Depending on the level of play, you just might. After all, the batter intentionally released the bat AND had full control of where they released it.
Bat hits ball or the bat & ball meet in the air, I've got an out. Ball hits bat, I've got nothing.
