Mens FP is irrelevant... but

Scenario 1...Past ball bounces off hard backstop & hits batter. Obviously not a HBP, but dead ball?

Scenario 2... what if it was a 3rd strike? Interference with an U3K?

Ball never hit the ground before hitting the batter (also not relevant, just illustrating the speed of the pitch)

Scenario 1 is what happened... I didn't kill it.
