I admit I'm just having some fun here, but where does it say that in the rule book? 7-4C only says the batter must swing at a legal pitch!

Depends on what the meaning of the word "at" is!
Then an argument can be made that it is not a legal delivery as the ball was not released as prescribed in 6.3 and should be ruled illegal. Since the ball was not put into play by the batter, the illegal pitch is enforced.

Now you also have to define "play" along with "at".
