I don't believe you turn your back on the guy with the ball. NEVER, EVER TURN YOUR BACK ON THE BALL.
First, it appears that you are pompous - "Hey, look at me, no one can do anything until I say so." Secondly, it's just dangerous.


I believe the question was what would you do after the pitcher nails the batter. In that case, the pitcher no longer has the ball, so he hasn't turned his back on the ball. He's not being pompous. He's awarding first to the batter hit by pitch.
