Actually that is really the way it works in Missouri. I completely understand that there is still umpire judgement. This changed from judgement and misapplication when he said that the batter does not have to make an attempt to avoid getting hit by the pitch.
After reading the responses, I have decided that I will see this situation in a different way now. Instead of worrying about whether an opponent is attempting to avoid the pitch I will instruct my players as to how to "take a pitch" without leaning into it.
Thanks again to all.
