Theoretically yes. However the force the player is exerting on the bat, which is related to acceleration, during contact is much smaller than the
forces generated during the bat-ball collision and hence are not nearly as important and are typically ignored in an analysis. This is why conservation of linear
momentum is typically used when in reality if one included the player generated force momentum would change after contact.
Good for you.
It was a trick question.
Half expected you to go on a spiel about Force = Mass x Acceleration.
