No. If the ball hits the batter's bat first there can be no call of hit by pitched ball.
Added:
It is actually a foul ball and a strike.

If a pitched ball hits the batters hand and also the bat and he is not swinging is it a hit batsman?
If the batter was swinging it is a strike...if the batter was not swinging, then they are deemed to have been "hit by pitch" and are awarded first base.
What is the difference between bunting and hitting in baseball?
I am a softball player. Let me say first, bunting is basically half the swing as hitting. Hitting consists of swinging a bat across your entire body. Bunting, you swing 180 degrees and stop and let the ball hit your bat. Bunting makes the ball go in play at a small distance; hitting the ball can make your ball go anywhere!
What does the baseball term drag mean?
Drag is a bunting term used mainly by left-handed batters. It is the act of bunting the ball while starting to run towards first base. Drag bunting is not a sacrifice bunt. If there are any runners on base and a batter drag bunts, the Official Scorer will not credit the batter with a sacrifice so long as he makes it obvious he is bunting for a single. It is the Official Scorer's decision whether or not a sacrifice is granted in a bunt.

What is sentence for bunting?
There are at least three different meanings for the word "bunting." One meaning refers to a kind of textile, a fabric that is often made of wool; in the old days, it was used for making flags and banners. Many ribbons in the 1800s were made of bunting, but today they might be made of different fabrics. Another meaning is an action in the game of baseball, when the batter strikes the ball in such a way that it stays in the infield and the pitcher or catcher must try to field it while the batter (who is often speedy) runs to first base. The pitcher was surprised to see the batter bunting the ball, since the batter was not a very fast runner. And a third meaning refers to a small bird which looks like a sparrow and eats seeds. Many people confuse the bunting with a finch, because they look and act very similarly.

When a batter swings at a pitcher and misses it?
If the batter swings and the ball hits anywhere but the bat the pitch is called a strike. Even if it hits the person batting, while swinging, but if he is bunting and gets hit it is not a strike There is no rule that states that if a batter is attempting to bunt and a pitched ball hits him that the pitch is anything but a strike. In short, if a batter is hit during any type of swing, the pitch is ruled a strike.
