It depends on the pitch. If it's a 90 mph fastball, well, how can he prepare for one in the back?

I don't want batters feeling they need to bail on curveballs, so unless it's clear that the batter knew it was coming and he turned into it, give him the base.

I had one yesterday like this and I would've kept the batter at the plate, but it was Ball 4. Stupid batter.
