I hear that quite a bit. One time had a left-handed batter (SP)that took a slow slap and punched the ball just between F5 & F6. Coach came flying out of the dugout insisting I call the batter out. I asked the coach why. He told me because he didn't take a full swing and that should be an out.

I pointed out there was no rule against it. Coach said he could do that all night and never be put out. I pulled out my line-up card and told him if that was true, he should be in the game instead of coaching and asked him where he wanted to bat.

Just got a funny look and didn't hear from him the rest of the night.
