Did you ever think that mabey the kid was trying to protect another part of his body , using his hand. Not uncommon. It is very natural when something is going to hit you, that you put a hand or arm up for protection.
This is not as complicated a subject as we are making it here. For the most part in all leagues, if you are not 100% convinced that the batter was trying to get hit by the pitch, send him to first. Ive probably officiated in a few thousand games and can almost remember the few times I have kept the player in the box.
