Hit By Pitch - NCAA
Prodded from a trivia question elsewhere, I find the following conundrum.
The batter, while attempting to avoid a very errant (perhaps bouncing) pitch, inadvertently gets hit while not within (and not in front of) the batters box. HBP? Or No Pitch? 10.10.5 seems clear cut, but 11.16.3.1 would be unnecessary if this was intended to be a NP by the NCAA rulesmakers. As would 11.16.3.4. I seem to recall this is supposed to be a HBP, but the rule-change (or clarification if you will) was mucked up. Is there something in writing from NCAA to clear this up?

If I remember correctly, 10.10.5 was written because the NCAA coaches, in their infinite wisdom, felt that a slapper who has run out of the front of the box should not benefit from being hit by a pitch while she was not in the batter's box.
Since that is the "intent" of that rule, I don't think anybody is going to have a problem with awarding a batter first base on the pitch in the OP.

I actually had that happen in a Little League Minors baseball game (ironically, the batter was a girl at the time). The very slow arcing pitch (typical of LL Minors) was coming right at her, and instead of moving back out of the box, she moved across the plate. Problem was, she left her bat on her shoulder, and as she was clearly stepping on the plate with her foot, the pitch hit the top of her bat.
