This must be a rule that has been added in the two or three years since I last called Dixie. Either that, or it is a popular myth because of all the wacky rules Dixie has.
Now the bat wiggle thing applies to bunt, not just any pitched ball. The interp goes something along the lines of a combination of an offer at the pitch and a distraction to the pitcher. I am sure that Wayne B. could clarify it for you.
Those fun Dixie rules......
