Intent to swing
I had a 50/70 game last night w/ 11 year olds. Inside pitch, the kid jumps out the way and tries to use the bat to prevent the ball from hitting him. The ball goes to the backstop. I called a strike on the swing. The third base coach comes running down and says, he did not intend on hitting the ball, he was protecting himself. I asked him if he hit a homerun while protecting himself, would we wave it off? Was this correct?
