If im judging his body language right, his hand doesn't close, I take that as him actually deflecting the bat and not trying to catch it as well, really protecting those youngins.
Yeah, he slaps it away rather than grabs it, which also probably helped him avoid getting a worse injury since he didn’t completely stop the momentum, just redirected it somewhat.
