Steve is on the right track! It's very hard for me to see a batter get hit and not give him 1b. I have only kept a batter in the box once, on a slow curve ball that the batter actually moved INTO to get hit. The key is the batter should not allow himself to get hit.

I was on the bases for a varsity game this season, batter got hit with slow curves twice in a row and didn't move, my partner kept him in the box both times. Nary a peep from the coach or bench.

The keys for me are, 1) did the batter have time to move?, and 2) did he attempt to avoid getting hit?
