While it is a LL "type" rule actually there are two references in FED. 1) for intentionally throwing a bat or helmet and 2) carelessly throwing a bat.

While no "real" umpire would call anything concerned with this in a FED game an UMPIRE COULD stretch things to do it if he wanted.

And a "real" umpire would know the FED rule and allow someone to run for a player who was on base and then restricted to the bench or disregard the directive which Bob quoted.
