Hit by Pitch

Yup, it's a HBP even if the pitcher rolls it up there and it hits the batter, as long as the batter doesn't intentionally allow it to hit him.

DG: I love it when a batter leans into one for the team on ball 4! It's one of life's serendipities.

I had it twice this year when R2 was stealing on the pitch (and presumably would have been successful) but B2 leans into ball 4. So stupid!
