Batters are intentionally getting closer to the plate with each year to lower the pitchers ability to safely pitch inside. Half of these clips, 10 years ago would not by a hbp. Batters are literally putting themselves in this position and were blaming pitchers. You made a "heartless pitchers" video but rarely ever showed any where the pitcher was deliberately targeting the batters head. I mean shit, one of the clips (brewers @ reds) the batter was actually hit by a pitch that was IN THE ZONE.
You answered your own question. You never apologize so if it is intentional it isn’t completely obvious. Also, if the hitter takes a check swing and gets hit, that’s the hitters fault.
2:02 Bad call. In no situation should this be called a foul tip/strike 3. If the pitch hit him, the question becomes whether he swung at it or not. If he did not, he gets first base. If he did, it is a dead ball, strike 3 (not a live ball/foul tip). From this angle, it looks like he checked his swing, but the first base umpire has the best angle.
They need to make a more severe penalty for hit by pitch. Not a single MLB pitcher got there without being able to throw strikes in Little League, High School, College, and/or Minor Leagues. Right now, the most frequent offenders are hitting a batter every 2.4 (the 'worst' - 7 HB in 17.1 IP) to 7.7 (the 'most hits' - 8 HB in 62.2 IP) to 14.2 (the 'good' one - 5 HB in 71.0 IP) innings. The worst 20 combined are managing to average one hit every 8.68 innings. They are throwing beyond their skill whether it's due to peer pressure ot coaching choices. It's time to start turning each hit, or throw towards the head/body that the batter manages to avoid, into cumulative steps towards game suspensions (on a day they would otherwise be eligible to pitch) regardless of them occurring on the same day or not. And if that doesn't work, change a HB into a 2 base award.
Do you know why they were able to throw consistent strikes in little league? Because it's little league. The skillset is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the mlb. If you're going to compare throwing 60 pitches max to little league batters to throwing up to 100 to mlb batters you clearly don't understand sports at all. 90% of little leaguers will never see AA baseball. Most hit by pitches also come off breaking balls. Which are very easy to lose control of, especially under high pressure scenarios While I do agree that throwing fastball at the head should be a suspension. I don't agree If they hit the hand on a swing like in the first 3 clips.
a batter should be able to get a free base if theyy hit by pitch no matter if they swung at it or not..... also, do you think the pitchers are more concerned for the batter that got hitor the fact the put a man on base?
No human pitcher? Man. AI is getting out of control. They're already starting to hit MLB players.

2:52 Wade Miley has a legitimate gripe. That pitch was a strike, so the batter should not have gotten first base.
Pitchers dont apologise because, the batter is in pain and is angry, wouldnt do any good to say sorry.
Why don't pitchers ever apologize? I mean aside from intentional hits that is.

@@danielcastiglione5328 yea I realized it 5 mins after I posted.
Sometimes batters also get intentionally hit to get on base btw
Those hand and feet shots look rough.
If I were the pitcher, I'd run up and apologize.
Most of them looked like intentional

no way, especially when they get hit because they swung, you're nuts
if you swing you swing, that's it
Half of these batters literally got hit by balls in the strike zone because they went to check their swing
