I am BU in A.
Pitch comes in and batter pulls back but leaves hands out there. He was choking up on the bat, why I don't know, and all my P and I hear is "ting". We both called it a foul ball. (no it did not go fair!)
Well, now the batter steps out of the box shaking his hand. The ball obviously hit him on his pinky, probably broke it.
Should we have then awarded BR 1st base on a HBP?
Also, this was a right handed batter who got hit in his right pinky. He was the catcher who had trouble throwing the rest of the game.
Is that possible that you can get hit there and it still sound like the ball hitting the bat?
Imagine Right handed batter, right hand on top of left, choking up on the bat.
