I agree with calling a dead ball when the pitch hits the hands if my partner doesn't see it, but I'd be hesitant in calling the strike unless it was REAL obvious that the batter actually swung at the pitch as opposed to aborting her swing and attempting to duck the inside pitch. If he chooses to award 1st it could be because he judged that she didn't actually swing at the pitch. I prefer to let the PU determine balls and strikes even on a HBP.
