This is how I deal with a unintentionally thrown bat: If the batter is called out (thrown out at first, caught fly ball, etc., not because of the thrown bat), I pick the bat up and hand it to him. When he grabs it, I don't let go. When he turns back around to see what the bat is caught on, I calmly tell him that the bat hit me (or the catcher, or the backstop, etc.), and next time he needs to hang on to it.
