If discarding the bat in that manner to hit the ball hinders the catcher from making a play on the ball, would you not consider that INT under 8-2-F-5?

Honestly, if it was "in front of the catcher" ... then the batter didn't need to release the bat to reach it, right? This action is WAY WAY WAY less dangerous than simply flinging the bat after a full swing ... and THAT is not prohibited in any real ruleset. So why would this infinitely less dangerous act be?
