This is the way I call it.
If the bat hits the ball then the impetus on the ball is from the batter-runner. By deflecting or redirecting the path of the ball she is hindering a fielder attempting to make a play. Dead ball, batter out.
If the bat is stationary and the ball hits the bat then the bat is simply part of the playing surface. Live ball, play on.
