Watch it a couple more times and you will clearly see the batter turn and look at the PU who is pointing at him, while ball scoots away, which he no doubt deduced to mean the ump thought he swung, but did not see it hit him, since he would have had his hands up for that mechanic. So he did what any talented major leaguer would do, he took off running to 1b. And yes, he was totally blocked out from seeing that by the catcher going down for the ball.
