The committee is concerned that batters are still attempting to be hit by pitches and earn an undeserved awarded base by ""taking one for the team."" Rule 7-3-4 clearly prohibits a batter allowing himself to be hit by a pitch.
I don't see anything in this interpretation about the pitch being in the batter's box or out of the batter's box!

As an experienced official I read that as a "batter attempting to be hit" to be a batter moving into a pitch. Which I have seen 3 times this year and called. It just not as black and white as it reads and general thought is don't rule in favor of the defense (pitcher) when they don't follow the rules. And last time I looked the pitcher is not allowed to hit the batter with a pitch. Was it intentional? You don't always know. So who is more right here for being wrong?

"Hey coach, does the pitch belong in the batter's box?"
NCAA has the best idea. If the batter is completely within the box and the pitch enters the box, there is no question, nor does said batter have to move. HBP

Score 12 - 0
First, second and third batter hit home runs for winning team. Next pitch is a 64 mph to the mid-section of the batter. Batter takes the hit and starts to run to first. Are you going to call him back? Are you going to eject the pitcher? Guaranteed, whatever you decide there will be a coach out there that will disagree. But thats ok, the Rulebook says the batter permitted the ball to hit him. "Come back here son". Sometimes you just have to umpire .......PERIOD.
