What's the call?

Runner coming home. Bat is in the baseline. Runner slides in and hits the bat which somehow pops up and hits the ball (low throw) coming into home. What's the call?

Once the bat comes to rest it is part of the field like an umpire is. Like an umpire, that hopefully moves around too, the play keeps going. It doesn't matter that it was hit.

 

[Umpire]

No call. Play on.

Probably "SAFE"...

Is it a legally approved bat?

If you were playing us, I would argue that you are out , but should just be play on, just as if it hit the catchers mask on the ground.
