pitchers need to not throw the ball in the batter's box. if you get hit within the vertical confines of the box, first base is yours. however, if you reach out and try to get hit, you are sticking around for at least another pitch.

thats how i look at it. if the batter doesnt move at all, why penalize him for the pitcher's mistake?
