If the batter tried to get hit he stays, if he was protecting himself I give him first. Plus I give benefit of the doubt to the batter on the slow curve to the arm as he has to stay in there in case in drops into the zone. This stops kids from having to do too much to try to avoid getting hit and having a more serious injury, ie turning into a high fastball to take it in the back as opposed to trying to jump out of way and taking it in the ribs.
