rewording
I hope these are not too simple.
The batter is awarded 1st base if struck by a pitch
- which the batter did not prevent from entering the strike zone and
- which the batter did not deliberately cause to hit her/him.
The pitcher must pause after taking the position on the pitching plate before starting the pitching motion.
