So, just to be clear, Swampboy, there is a requirement that a batter make an attempt to get out of the way of a pitch? Is there some variance on that rule according to level of play? I've been a little unsure about whether that is an actual rule or just one that coaches, aggrieved fans and pitchers would LIKE to be a real one.

My understanding is that a batter is not required to make an attempt to get out of the way of a pitch, but he MAY NOT move himself intentionally into the path of the pitch. Not sure if that's right - but that's what it should be !!
