You understand I'm supporting an out call on this?

Ernie has a lot of good points that throw a lot of twists into this, but my only point is that the rule states if the legally pitched ball is hit by the bat while the batter's foot is entirely out of the batter's box, the batter is out.

That would be a batted ball and a second hit, neither which would apply here.

Unless the bat is part of the playing field?

Again, you are talking about a second hit and that is not the case here.
