how much effort must a batter give when trying to avoid getting hit by a pitch? situation: pitch is throw and hits the batter in his back. batter clearly in batters box, ball not even close to plate, coach screams he made no attempt to get out of the way. very next pitch, ball hits batter in his head. batter turned his head slightly, a curve ball that didnt curve. coach starts screaming again and then adds "your terrible anyways", needless to say i tossed him. both pitches were way off the plate. please give some advice.
