I totally disagree. Hands stick up at least 1/2" above the bat handle, so if I'm not sure which got hit first, I always assume it hit the hands first. Besides, it's better to award 1st to a player who is standing there shaking their hand than it is to call a foul ball on them (assuming they weren't swinging at the ball of course).
