Well I stated it is Fed rules, thus High School (mostly 8-)) The batter made it clear he was gonna take the pitch and even admitted that since it was so slow afterwards. It really floored me as you figure some self preservation would kick in and he would move a little and thus I could easily award him 1st with no afterthought about it.
The general rule of thumb is in the head give him the base. I have also had guys say never call one in the zone unless it so blatently obvious that it was in the zone. I can buy both and have no problem with it. This was a tuff one to chew tho since the pitch was so slow.
