if this is NCAA we are talking, the batter gets first if he is within the vertical lines of the batters box. no attempt has to be made to get out of the way as long as the batter is in the box, see NCAA 8-2-d-2 approved ruling.

you dont necessarily have to make an attempt to get out of the way, but if we are talking FED then i dont know those rules specifically, but would assume you are right.
