Do we know (will we ever know) who made the call?

call was correct, but the rule needs a revision for when it's obviously a ball(inside the batter's box.

just revise to where you can’t extend out over plate.

going down inside the box shouldn’t be an issue

I think it's harsh to penalize a guy for protecting his ribs against a pitch in his own batter's box. That's a natural reaction that I feel was misinterpreted as "making a move to the baseball."

in this case it was more about rewarding the pitcher for throwing a ball than penalizing the batter

The rule shouldn’t even need to be revised for that specific call.

It’s a strike if a batter gets hit in the strike zone.

It’s a strike if a batter allows themselves to be hit by a pitch outside of the box, unless it was unavoidable.

It’s only a strike inside the box of the batter is judged to intentionally be hit by the pitch. The home plate umpire did not make that judgement.

Overturning on video review requires indisputable video evidence. I have no idea how someone can say it is indisputable that he intentionally got hit by that pitch, unless the definition of “indisputable” somehow changed. It is quite literally in dispute.

What? The replays showed quite clearly that the ball was headed for his ribs. He definitely would have been hit.

Good question. But if he wanted to avoid getting hit he would have easily done so.

The rule is very explicit that in the batter's box a batter who intentionally does not love out of the way is still awarded a base. Only if the pitch is outside the batter's box does intentionally refusing to avoid the pitch matter.

The only plus side of it was that I don't think it meant anything. He wouldn't of gotten a run based on next batter's out/s.
