I've seen batters, on very close pitches, turn forward and fall down. The bat does go around, but they were not swinging. The bat and the body moved as a unit as they were avoiding being hit by the pitch. (More in baseball than in softball, I admit.)

I've also seen batters, as an obvious fourth ball is approaching, cross the plate with the barrel of the bat as they throw it toward the on deck circle. But obviously no intent to hit the ball.
