Question

Ill try and keep this sort and sweet.
Swinging third strike. Catcher misses the ball and the ball bounces infront of home plate. as the batter realizes the drop thrid strikes, He release his bat, with momentum as the catcher is moving from his crouch to towards the mound. the bat hits the catchers shin guards as he is moving forward. the batter still has not not cleared the batters box. the catcher is able to keep his feet and make a throw to first, but it is over thrown and the player is safe at first and advances to second.
Ive read there is no rule where a batter is OUT from a thrown bat. He can be warned or ejected. ...... but is there an interferance call?
