This does NOT happen in high school and college ball. Thus, this is why we are talking about this.

In all the AAA games I did this year, I did not see even one batter not attempt to avoid getting hit. I didn't see anything that warranted a second thought!
HS or college players will generally turn their body in such a way to get hit by a hanging curve ball in the box, and of course "appear" to be trying to get out of the way. And I always send them to 1B and never hear anyone complain about it. I saw 3 or 4 of these yesterday. Most of them will try to get out of the way of a fastball in the box.
