@TalkinBaseball_ Theres a difference between leaning into a pitch and then not moving, which is totally legal. Pete didnt move, he doesnt have to dodge the pitch. Its a clear HBP
@LaCabraBrava05 @TalkinBaseball_ “(1) A batter must attempt to avoid being hit by the pitch. If he does not attempt to avoid being hit by the pitch then: a) If the ball is outside the strike zone when it touches the batter, the ball is dead, it shall be called a ball and the batter is not awarded first base."
@ScottieEx03 @LaCabraBrava05 @TalkinBaseball_ So did they call it a ball?
