The rule is there because it is a DEAD BALL! Period. When they began stealing, it became even more relevant that ball became dead in this circumstance.

A batter may not put a dead ball into play. I don't care if it is a roller to the pitcher or a 450' smack over the fence. It is a ball on the batter.

Man, talk about overanalyzing something.

Play ball.
