You're aware that the word "appeal" has a specific meaning in baseball, and it doesn't just mean "to ask about". You "appeal" an infraction. I see no logic or rule support for "appealing the batter's status".

That said ... the batter's status at the moment the 3rd out was made is "not out" He has not been tagged and neither has 1st base.
