My partner had this play happen yesterday and did not know the rule. The batter did not move and was hit by a pitch. He gave him the base. A parent politely asked me between innings if the batter has to attempt to get out of the way. I said yes, but the uic has a better angel on the play and kid may have been fooled by a curve... A few innings later I was chatting with my partner and asked about the call and he said the kid was in the box, so he gave him the base. I told him about the attempt to get out of the way rule, and he was not aware of it. Interesting how the NCAA deals with it.
Point 2: He went to say that the batter never has move from the box even if there is a play at the plate (stealing runner)...
Can anyone site the ORB rule on this part. I have not sound it.
