Question

(1)Lead off batter up in the first inning, first pitch is thrown, RH batter attempts to drag bunt, pitcher throws an inside fastball, hits the batter on the fingers of his right hand(closest to the barrel) out in front of the plate. Now assuming that it appeared it was going to be a strike over the inside corner, what is the call? The umps at the game said even though he was in front of the plate that he pulled the bat back slightly, and since this was an attempt to avoid being hit that it didn't matter if it was a ball or strike, and gave him a HBP. Is that right?
(2)If the plate umpire thought it was going to be too far inside in this same instance would it change the call?
