If a batted ball makes contact with the bat, while bat still in batter's hands while batter is still in the box, then the ball is FOUL. I have seen this several times on bunts that go straight down and come back up and contact the bat over fair ground and have my share of discussions with defensive coaches who want an out in this case. Hasn't happened yet.
