Bob and Steve M,
I agree with you, if ANY attempt at the ball it is a strike, and of course if it is in the zone then it's a strike!
This pitch hit her dead in the middle of the batters box. This guy was swearing that no matter what if the bat is out like a bunt then there is no HBP period. I think he was just looking for a way out of putting a runner on 1st, my thought was have your F1 quit hitting the batters
