7-4-14 The batter throws her bat and interferes with a defensive player
attempting a play.

NOTE: lf the bat breaks and a portion is hit by the ball or hits a runner or fielder, no infraction
has occurred.

Rule 3-6-16 Team personnel shall not deliberately throw bats, helmets or any
other piece of equipment.

Yes, there is something that can be done about it.
3-6-3 covers it.

ART. 3 . . . A team member shall not carelessly throw a bat.

PENALTY: (Arts. 2 through 10) The umpire shall issue a team warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be restricted to the dugout/bench for the remainder of the game.
