No records kept here. Memories maybe but not records. I go home and drink a beer.

I have called very few pitches strikes that hit batters (less than a dozen), but I have kept many players at the plate who either leaned in or made no effort (100 or more). There was a post on this subject recently that I decided to drop out of, because there were too many people who felt that a batter hit in the box by a pitch that bounced should be awarded 1B, even if he made no effort.

I have never had a called third strike on one that hit the batter. This is from memory only. But I would do it if the situation warranted.
