And if he batts or taps the ball to another player or himself in the air, then that's a batt or tap without player control if you judge the ball never came to rest in the batter/tapper's hand(s) during the batt/tap.

And so it is written; and so it shall be.

Now quit using common sense. You're confusing Billy.
