Like Garth said, if you thought he froze, give him first. But if you thought he was waiting on it and got hit, keep him there. Benefit of the doubt goes to the batter.
I don't try to read the batter's mind. If he made no effort to move he stays in the box, regardless of the reason. If he leans into one I will see that.
