4) The contact between bat, ball, and body is very very very close.

...butI am willing to bet dollars to donuts that that PU, from his angle, saw the ball hit Jeter in the stomach, then hit the end of his bat, and then hit is stomach again.

Stomach? That must be why Jeter was holding and rubbing his wrist and had his trainer examine his wrist. Yes, of course that's it, the ball hit his stomach.
