Not sure getting hit in the back is so silly.
99% of the batters are taught to turn inside and take the pitch in the back.
Much better than trying to back out and getting hit in the ribs or the arm.

If I get any movement at all, even a flinch, I give the base. If they stand still on a curve ball, no base, if they were wanting to swing, they would have movement. A batter who stands like a statue and lets a curve ball hit him had no intention of ever swinging and every intention of getting hit. no base!!!!
