Va Tech leads the conference in hit batsman. They may lead the nation. Ga Tech hit them a lot over the weekend. Watching the action, this is no flukey thing. It seemed obvious they are coached to not make any attempt to get out of the way of the pitch. As far as I could tell... every player did this... not just a few.

In at least one case, the batter clearly stuck his elbow out to intentionally be hit. Rightly... he was not awarded 1st. But in every other one I saw, they simply did not move. Legit...but that has to be taught & "practiced"... you would have learned to break the instinct to get out of the way.

That must be an awesome part of practice. :)
