I think what everybody is trying to say is that there is a difference between a batter and batter-runner.
I've had detached equipment before on a pitch in the dirt with R1, R2 F2 scoops up the pitched ball with his mask (this was in a FED game before the HSM requirement for F2s)
Wanna read something crazy, look up the FED rule base award for detached equipment on a pitched ball. Could you imagine? :-)
