The rule doesn't make it cheating. It says you can't go to 1B if you don't try to get out of the way. Nothing requires you to get out of the way - just a penalty if you fail to do so. Might be cheating with the FED rule but not in OBR.

Now that's setting a high standard. As long as the coaches and players don't think it's cheating, it's not cheating.
Seriously...the batter didn't just let the ball hit him, he moved into the pitch.
