Let's look at the main puzzle piece of the initial post...
Inside fastball which I take to mean coming at the batter. In my mind the batter pulls back and the ball strikes his person. I really can care less that the ball hit his hands unless he was swinging at the pitch. Change the body part to the ball hit his ribs, does that change your thought on ball/strike/fair/foul?
In the question there is no mention of a swing so all I have here is a hit batter.
Time.
You first base.
