OK. I misread the question when first presented.
This is one of those things that it is up to the umpire. Depends on the situation.
If I felt the pitcher did throw at him deliberately, I would make the DC announce first.
If I felt the batter overreacted, the OC first.
If they both were at fault for the situation, then it comes down to how the managers handle things. And, if they handle things properly, then it is a toss up of who you want to do it.
I think that would be my approach. This is one of those things that no 2 umpires will approach each situation the same.
