Yes, the batter has to at least twitch a little

This is umpire judgement of course. FED has been trying to emphasize this more in the last couple of years (keeping batters in the box who dont try to avoid) but its an uphill battle. Most umpires are very reluctant to keep a batter in the box, unless he deliberately sticks a body part out there to get hit.

only in NCAA (by rule) can the batter take a pitch in the box with impunity and go to First.
