I guess I'm seeing 6.05h as a hitter taking two "swings" at a ball in fair territory.

If that's not right...please help me understand what this looks like on the field. I guess I've never called it and I don't think I've ever seen it either.

I think an example would be a bunt that goes straight down, then pops up and hits the bat while the batter is still squared up. I had this once and called it a foul ball. The batter was in completely in the box and never moved.
