Look Ma! No Hands! (bunt)

[Tim C]

100% legal play at all levels of big boy ball.

And all levels of little boy ball, as far as I know. Perfectly legal. Batters throw the bat at the ball on hit and run plays all the time when the pitch is out of reach.

[Kevin Finnerty]

When Todd Zeile was with the Yankees, he threw his bat at a pitch-out with a runner going to second, and hit a perfect hit-and-run bullet through the vacated 3-4 hole. It was the greatest thrown-bat base hit I ever saw---on a pitch-out!

Tony Oliva of the Twins used to throw his bat at pitches all the time. He flung it on a lot of follow-throughs, too.

The point is moot, since the hands are part of the bat, it's impossible to throw a bat at a pitch.
