A Tough Call
The power of suggestion "to call strike" may result in an inapproprioate brainfart and interefere with the proper reasoning to award ONE base. That may influence the final outcome in a game. Wouldn't that feel uncomfortable (again)?
It would have to be one hell of a breaking pitch across the last foot or so (give or take 9 inches) and one very short batter (nonrunner). Purely based on judgement, it could go either way. Wouldn't it be better to ERR on the side of the taller batter most of the time?

If it doesn't feel right, then don't let it interefere with HBP.
