The most common instance I can think of where the batter tries to bunt, leaves the bat out there, but is clearly not trying to hit the ball is when the pitch comes inside and the batter has to bail. He's abandoned trying to hit the ball, but the bat remains over the plate - this is not a strike.
In MLB, most hitters WILL try to pull back when they've decided not to try to bunt the ball ... but this doesn't mean they are REQUIRED to.
