Its entirely your judgement as to wether to batter made a legitimate attempt to avoid being hit. I have had numerous cases where if the batter hadnt moved at all they would not have been hit, but they have been coached to roll their shoulder and back to the ball. By doing so they actually turn into the path of the ball and get hit. Based on your description and a slow arcing change up, no I probably would not award 1st on that.
