Don't worry about what kind of pitch it is, worry about batter's intent, or lack of for that matter. So Pete, would you keep a batter at the plate who was batting right and the pitcher was lefty and the ball curve big time into the batter who didn't move. I would hope not.

I only try to determine if the batter was intentionally trying to get hit, or if the pitch that hit him was a strike. A good umpire should easily be able to tell the difference.

Oh yeah, the hands are not, repeat are not, part of the bat.
