Correction: It absolutely is an out.
Absolutely incorrect. There is no rule that prohibits a batter from carrying his bat around the bases as long as he does not use the bat to interfere with the play. In fact, Alex Bregman carried his bat passed first base in game 6 of the 2019 World Series, and Juan Soto carried his almost to first later in the game. Neither suffered any out, penalty, or ejection.
There is no penalty for violating an "unwritten" or informal rule, so this would not be an automatic "out" according to the "official" rules. Cerano may have gone against the status quo by not conforming to what is considered appropriate or good sportsmanship, so might be viewed negatively by his peers or opposing teammates. Cerano was not "out", but his show-offish behavior was more along the lines of an "outcast."

Correction: Nowhere in the rulebook of baseball does it say that carrying a bat around the bases is an automatic out. As such, he would only be called out if he were to use that bat to his advantage. But since the ball was out of play (over the fence), no advantage would be gained and he would NOT be called out.
