I'll add in the NCAA ruling, 8.2.d.2 AR. The bold below is mine, but the underline is contained in the book.
Rule 8 - Base Running
Section 2 - The batter becomes a base runner:
d. When hit by a pitched ball at which the individual is not attempting to strike;
(2) If the batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball and the pitch is out of the strike zone, the pitch shall be called a ball. The ball is dead, and no runners may advance and the batter is not awarded first base.
A.R. - If the batter freezes and is hit by a pitch that is clearly inside the vertical lines of the batter's box, the ball is dead and the batter is awarded first base.
