If you thought he was trying to avoid the pitch, give him first.

If you thought he was swinging, call a dead ball strike.

If neither (and the ball was out of the zone), call a dead ball ball.

It sounds as though you saw one thing, your partner saw another. :shrug: IT happens. Based on your partner's input, you can review the play in your mind and perhaps you will see something "different" next time. Or, myabe you'll decide your partner is wrong.

I will say this, though -- very few batters try to get hit in the chest.
