ART. 2 . . . No player shall bat a loose ball other than a pass or a fumble in
flight, or a low scrimmage kick in flight which he is attempting to block in or
behind the expanded neutral zone.
The snap is a loose ball play!

Definitely won't be illegal batting. The snap is a loose ball play, a backwards pass to be more specific.
This will either be encroachment (Most likely), or a snap infraction if the center hesitated on the snap for some reason. If the NG is quick enough to bat the ball away while the center snaps the ball, I'd tell the center to snap the ball faster.
