Out on HBP

Great start to the Twins/Tribe game 2day. 1st batter of the game has a 2-2 count. The next pitch is coming low and in, and the batter swings before the pitch get to the plate. The ball goes down, bounces and hits the batter, then bounds into the stands. The announcers say he struck out and reached 1st on a WP, but the umpires confer and say he’s out because as soon as the ball hits him, it becomes dead.

Never seen that one before.

That is a good one, but the absolute right call.

The ball becomes dead as soon as it hits the batter. Doesn't matter if it is a strike or a ball (and HBP).
