ozzy - please reread the entirety of the rule regarding a bat contacting a ball in fair territory. It does not require intent to ring up an out. It requires you to ring up an out, regardless of intent (this does differ from a ball hitting a stationary bat).

Also - I've misplaced the page where it says my responsibility includes ignoring one rule to prevent a protest on another rule. Can you tell me where you read that?

You know what, you are all correct. The batter intentionally threw the bat at the ball so he's out. And what the hell do I care about pitching restrictions, file the GD protest, it's no skin off my wide butt! And the hands are part of the bat etc, etc!
