It is HBP. However, the rule says if the player makes no attempt to avoid getting hit, it should be a ball and the player will continue their at bat. Considering how unpredictable and fast pitches that hit the ground can be, I give the batter first base. Except, sometimes with the little kids a pitch will roll slowly along the ground and barely bump the batters foot as the batter watches. In that case, I won't give first base, but that rarely comes up.
