On a hit batter, it doesn't take much for me to judge that the batter made an attempt to get out of the way. I apply that to all levels that I work. I have also been told that "freezing" can be a legimate attempt to avoid being hit.
That being said, when a batter is crowding the plate, it reminds me to be aware of where the batter may be hit in relation to the strike zone.
