What do you call the pitch. Is it a no pitch - Is it a strike. What if the count was 3-2 and 2 outs. I don't believe the coach could take choice #1 because if he takes the play, the batter was the 3rd out (if indeed it is a strike)??? The problem is in OBR the book only provides examples when the batter makes contact with the ball (batter puts ball in play).

If the coach takes the play, then the pitch counts. In the example you gave, the batter would be out. The coach would be fired.
(and, yes, I know you can come up with some third-world situation where the out is the better choice).
