I'm envisioning the pitch going: lob ... bounce ... batter stands there ... ball hits batter. Didn't mean to imply one that comes in at 85 and skips off the ground 1 foot in front of the batter and kills his ankle.

And I should have said that up front.

If the pitch hits the ground, I'm giving the batter first as long as the batter doesn't move into the pitch after it's bounced. I don't care if the batter just stands there and watches it hit him.
