If the bat is still in the batter's hands and batter in box, then dead ball foul.
I have an out in your sitch.

Right, so in this case you have the bat hitting the ball, assuming over fair territory, and an out.

The only person that saw the bat out of the hands was the PU. I agree with you, it is not an every game play, we have the ones that are clear to everyone on the ground. This one bothers me because it is a little different did the ball hit the bat? Or did the bat hit the ball ?

The whole bat hits ball/ball hits bat idea is for when both are on the ground and rolling.
If the ball rolls away in the bat catches up to it and hits it, out. If the bat is laying still in the ball rolls into it, play on. If the bat is released and dropped, and the ball is bouncing up and meets it in midair, that'll be an out. |

NCAA game on TV last year or year before. I believe it was a Washington game. Bat in front of ball both rolling toward 1st base. Ball caught up to and hit bat. Ruling on field was batter out. Do not remember where I saw it now but play was submitted to Dee and her response was the ball hit the bat and no penalty.
