Sorry for being a pain, but unless it has changed, my electronic version of an ASA rule book (dated 2008) doesn't reference the bat's status as being stationary. It simply states in general terms the difference between a bat hitting a ball and vice versa.
The same is the case with the examples listed in the NCAA rule book: Hitting the Ball a Second Time Batter Bat Batted Ball Effect In box In hands Fair or foul Foul ball Out of box In hands Fair Batter out Out of box In hands Foul (accidental) Foul ball Out of box In hands Foul (intentional) Batter out In/out of box Out of hands (ball hits bat) Fair Live In/out of box Out of hands (ball hits bat) Foul Foul ball In/out of box Out of hands (bat hits ball) Fair Batter out In/out of box Out of hands (bat hits ball) Foul (accidental) Foul ball In/out of box Out of hands (bat hits ball) Foul (intentional) Batter out So, other than in interpretations that I assume are given in clinics, I don't see anything that talks of the bat rolling away from the ball, but the ball catching up and contacting the bat before the bat becomes stationary. (Edited to add) Sorry how it looks on screen. I tried to add spaces between the column entries...
