What is incorrect about the statement?
If the batter swings at a pitch and the ball hits his hand it is a strike.
If he tries to bunt the ball and the ball hits his hand it is a strike.
If he pulls back from the pitch and the ball hits his hand it is a hit batsman.
And the replays clearly showed that is just what happened.
Obviously after all 6 umpires chimed in none saw any evidence that the batter was in the act of swinging at the ball.
