Pitch hits the dirt well in front of home plate, batter steps into the path of the ball to get hit by the pitch. Whats your call?

If the batter stepped with the intent to get hit, ball.
If the batter stepped trying to get out of the way, but it turned out to be in the path of the ball, award the base.
Benefit of the doubt on this play goes to the batter.
