I think you want -b here, the -B parameter is usually to adjust the
buffer size, and from you command you probably want the batch file to
be a dash meaning stdin and sftp needs the user and host on the
command line.

let $BatchExec = 'sftp -b - user@host < ' || $ScriptFile || ' > ' || $ScriptLog

Usually you will want the ssh set-up to function with public key
authentication so there is no need to enter a password, makes things
much simpler.
