Let's ignore all the previous plays. Let's also ignore any "intent" on the part of the batter.
A batter gets hit before the ball reaches the plate.
The pitch is:
1) Always a ball.
2) Always a strike.
3) Called based on the umpire's judgment of whether the ball would have entered the strike zone.
4) A "do-over".
(I think those are the only options -- feel free to add others).
My vote is for 3.
