And I can see how an offensive coach would get kind of hacked off at this rule as well. It makes sense, I think, but they certainly will want to get "something" out of a batter being struck by the ball.

Well... Was working 10U rather competitive playoff game some time back. Girl squares to bunt. The pitch (at decent speed for a 10U) came straight at her. She tries to hit it with the bat and missed - and it somehow gets between facemask and top of helmet and hits her square in the face. Blood everywhere. I've already rung her up on 3rd strike before I see exactly where it hit her. Opposing coach and partner both see this and cover their faces knowing what's coming.
After about 10 minutes of crying, etc - I get the pleasant task of telling her that not only can she not go to first, but she's out as well. Not easy.
