Hit By Pitch and the college game

[PDad]

I am on a road trip, ASA, so no NCAA rulebook handy to cite rule numbers.
...
Yes, NCAA treats a pitch that is prevented from reaching the plate as a no pitch, you cannot acll a strike because you judge it would have been one. But that has no bearing the play being discussed, where the ball DID enter the strike zone, then hit the batter deeper in the box.

Here is the NCAA rule. Written differently than ASA 7-4-M, but interpreted and applied the same?

11.16.3.4 The batter is hit by a pitch out of the front of the batter’s box, assuming she did not swing or attempt to bunt.
EFFECT—“No Pitch.”

The point is that nearly all rulesets have a notion of a dead-ball strike, if the ball hits the batter while the ball is in the strike zone. Narcosis was asking about that, so I offered the ASA code.

A strike is a strike is a strike. A strike, by any other name, is just as sweet.

Wait ... how wide is the ball?
