"The batters hands are not to be considered part of the batter."

Ok, so, we've established previously that the hands are not a part of the bat, and now they're not part of the batter either? so are they just suspended in midair or what? J/K. I don't have an ASA rule book but I'm 99.9% sure that it should be the hands are not to be considered part of the bat. I'm sure just a typo, we all have our moments. Everyone enjoying the WCWS on ESPN?
