Rule 7 section 2 Art 1b
A strike is charged to a batter when a pitch is struck at and missed.
Casebook 7.2.1 situation B.........The mere holding of the bat in the strike zone is not an attempt to bunt.
Rule 10 section 1 Art 4a The umpire in chief sometimes asks for the aid from the base umpire when there is a question as to whether a batters "half swing" is such as to be called a strike. As an aid in deciding , the umpire may note whether the swing carried the barrel of the bat past the body of the batter, but final decision is based on whether the batter actually struck at the ball.
