I remember a thread about this subject around a month ago. It seemed like many umpires felt that it would be difficult for a batter to move out of the way of a pitch that hits the ground first because he is not use to the ball coming up at him from the ground. I think you could technically give him walk even if he doesn't get out of the way.
