Hit By Pitch
ASA 8.1.F
When a pitched ball not swung at nor called a strike touches any part of the batter's person or clothing. Effect: The ball is dead. The batter is entitled to one base without the liability to be put out. NFHS 8.1.2.b A batter is awarded first base when: b. a pitched ball not swung at nor called a strike touches any part of the batter's person or clothing. Must the batter/offense accept the award? Situation: R1 at third. Best hitter at bat. Not as 'great' a hitter on deck. HBP. Must the offense accept the awarded base? I can't find any rules in either code that force the acceptance; conversely, I can't find any that allows the offense to refuse the award. Granted, an intentional walk could certainly avoid the scenario, but does the option exist fo the offense?
