HBP is the reason. If batter is awarded first then runner advance 1 base from where he was at time of pitch if forced. If batter not awarded first, which in this case no way he should be, then he returns to first because that is where he was at the time of pitch. That is in all rule books.

I'd put this into the "common sense and fair play" category and call the pitch a ball on the dead ball pitch. He could have avoided the pitch but chose not to. Common sense would tell ya that on a normal pitch that's sailing toward him, it's not quite as easy to avoid being hit, at least not nearly as easy as standing there watching the ball roll into your foot.

Ball in the dirt.
Pitcher tosses a ball in the dirt. The batter makes NO attempt to get out of the way. I don't have a clue what the catcher is doing. It plunks batter hard --> HBP, award first base. It plunks him softly --> Dead Ball, get out of the way, ball. The runner goes into 2B standing. Considering common sense and fair play, do you always make the runner return to first?
The OC coach doesn't like my call and tells me that I shouldn't be partial. I let the pitcher get away with a balk and penalized his runner. I need somebody to bail me out? I request a group huddle to figure out what I should tell the OC. Please be kind cause the coach really doesn't like me and I may have to toss him.

OK, my question is why do several people say send runner back to 1st? He had every right to go to 2nd as far as I can see. IMO (humble) br should have no effect on what to call as far as the pitch goes.
