What also needs to be taken into consideration is that many, if not most, rule sets include a section which notes that if the player discards the bat in a manner which prevents the defense from making a play.
Doesn't mention movement, direction or even whether the effect would be of the ball, defender or both, just that it can be INT.
I don't consider it dummying down a rule, just locking down a specific point to which all can relate.
