Again, working youth players can be fun here. B1, by ducking down is trying to avoid the pitch. And again, the PU has to really see what happened. I'm not going to committ to a yes or a no here because it is really a HTBT situation.

HUH?!?
Pitch is IN THE STRIKE ZONE and B gets hit?
Dead Ball, Strike, Stay right there Bubba [unless it's strike 3/ OUT].

Sure, try this one out - curve ball high, would be called a ball if left alone but batter ducked down and got nailed on the way down. Ball not in the strike zone but the helmet is. That is why I said HTBT! Obviously, if the pitch is in the strike zone and the batter gets hit there he goes no where and it's a dead ball. I thought we all knew that - but there I go taking thngs for granted again.
