Actually, both.

Can't have both, because each calls for two completely different and conflicting calls. You either have "ball contacts batter" which is a Foul Ball if she's still in the box, or "batter contacts ball" which is an Out if the ball was in fair territory.

What you say better to the coach--which is the subject of your original post--needs to be a clear articulation of what happened. It's gotta be one or the other.
