So I guess I am using a poor choice of words. All I am saying is that if he is offering at the pitch and it hits his hands, that does not mean he gets first base. That means the ball is dead is all.
His not getting first base has nothing to do with the ball being dead. The ball is dead whenever it hits the batter. He is not awarded first base because he offered. Hence the expression, "dead ball strike."
