The answer to "can a pitched ball be considered a strike when the batter does not swing and the ball hits the plate?" is no. The first answer above, when you asked if it ever could be a strike was "if the batter swings". Sorry that didn't cover the full answer and I commend you for following up and getting a straight answer along with all the theory, technicalities and tangents.
