Where is that in the umpire manual? You shouldn't be saying anything.

Most batters know they have the option of swinging at an illegal pitch and will live with the results. Many batters seem to actually like those flat pitches.

I don't understand what that has to do with the fact that the pitcher violated 6.1.C & 6.7

Since in our OP, the batter contacted the IP, the IP is canceled.
And we're left with just the "No pitch" inadvertant call. So if'n that's all we're left with, I doin' a do-over. Course I'd hope to never be in that position in the first place. But maybe my partner who's calling the plate that game will be the one to brain fart.

You just said it, THERE IS NO PITCH FOR THE BATTER TO CONTACT!!!
