By rule there is no difference in the two.
An old umpire said "I know a strike when I see one" and a veteran umpire will say "I know when a batter gets hit on purpose."
The type of pitch in reality has nothing to do with it, I mentioned that as a guide for young umpires who might be reading. (and for guys umpiring guys who don't shave)
