Batter tries getting hit by pitch?
So this year at the NCAA meetings, they emphasized the rule that a batter (1) cannot try to get hit by a pitch; and (2) is not automatically awarded 1B if hit by a pitch that is not wholly in the batter's box.
Today, I kept a batter at the plate because she stuck her elbow into the pitch. I thought I sold it well, but still had a dispute with both coaches. The OHC wanted to know why it wasn't a base award, and the defense wanted a strike. What is the best verbiage to use in this situation? I came up with a strong DEAD BALL!, and pointed at the plate several times saying "NO! NO! NO! Staying here! Stay here! That pitch was not in the batters box!" Tips?
