Hit by Pitch (HBP) If you get hit by the pitch, you will be awarded first base (and your plate appearance will not be included as an at-bat). If you intentionally move into a pitch or do not make any effort to get out of its way, the umpire may call a strike (even if it hits you) and you will not be awarded first base.
