11.16 Hit Batter.
New 11.16.1
Note 1 If the pitch is in the batter’s box, the batter is not required to make an attempt to get out of the way.
11.16.2.1 The batter made no attempt to avoid the pitch or obviously tried to get hit by the pitch.
Rationale: Penalizes the pitcher whose pitch is in the batter’s box when it hits the batter by removing the requirement that the batter attempt to avoid the pitch

Thinking about this, I guess what they are saying is that the BB belongs to the batter and the pitcher shouldn't throw the ball into it.
Well, if that is the case, shouldn't the area between the batter's boxes over the plate belong to the pitcher? And if the pitch is not allowed to hit the batter in the box, shouldn't the batter not be allowed to hit the pitch over the plate?
