A Contrarian View

Yes, I know that it is HS JV ball and kids should get out of the way, but:

If the pitch is way, way inside, like at or behind his body, and as he moves out of the box (i.e out of the way), I might consider HPB and send him to 1B. He is reacting to the situation in front of him, and hiting the ball in self-defensemight be okay.

But the pitch has to be way way inside, and he has no place to go to get out of the way, and the pitch has to have some gas on it.

So yeah, in 90%+ of the situations like this, it's INF. But I can concieve of a case where INF is not called. Should it have been INF here, probably, but I didn't see it to say. Sounds like it should be in this case.
