If a batter swings at a pitch that hits the dirt and rebounds up and hits him (never touches the catcher), what is the call.
Dead Ball, batter is out.
What is it if the pitch hits the ground and then hits batter who doesn't swing? Dead Ball, Hit By Pitch.
IMO, there is no difference in this situation, ball is Dead.
See FED Rule 5.1.1.NOTE
