This may happen in little league play, but suppose it happens in adult leagues? I believe that if he causes an interference with his bat he may be called out, otherwise as soon as he reaches first base the bat must be retrieved.

No bat must be out of his hand once the ball has been hit.. No you cant run to first with the bat or it's an out... Oh and i just wanted to say to KURT C Good one he did spell it BATH !!!!

As per baseball rules, if the bat remains in the batters hands once he crosses/touches first base, the batter is out, regardless of the result of the swing. For instance, in the movie Major League, Pedro Cerrano hits a home run and runs around the bases carrying his bat... by rule, the second he touched first base with the bat in his hand, the home run is negated and his run wouldn't score. All baserunners ahead of him would have scored though.

A hitter can carry the bat all the way around the bases as long as it does not cause interference.

He must drop the bat before he reaches first base.

Yes, I've seen it happen. I 've seen them run to second base. Must be legal, unless it causes interference.

YES!! I've seen it done many time in youth games. As long as they don't use it to club the defense it's cool.
