Besides the fact that in any sports shop I have never seen a bat that was sold with hands on it
I always wonder why people can think, that the
batters hands can be part of that and not of the batter?
But in my (old) ASA rule book it says:
Quote:
8.1
F. The batter becomes a batter-runner:
when a pitched ball not swung at nor called a strike touches any part of teh batter's person or clothing. It does not matter if the ball strikes the ground before hitting the batter. The batter's hands are not to be considered a part of the bat.

I don't have the new one on me but I don't think it changed. As for FED I don't know but I don't think they will argue biology.
