What's the call?
Top,
I don't know of any rule in any association that allows a batter to be called out after putting a pitched ball in play to be called out for throwing the bat as you described. When I've had that situation, after the play is completed I issue a team warning about thrown bats. The next player on their team who throws a bat is disqualified from further play. If it's a high school game I restrict the offender to the bench.
