2. A ball on the batter
3. Runners may advance at their own risk


If the batter attempts to hit such a ball, how are you going to call a strike or fair when the rule book specifically has declared the pitch a ball?

Was there an interpretation or amendment I missed?
NFHS allows the pitch if the batter swings at it, ball if no swing or no chance to hit it. I bet some of us would apply that to USA.
