If a batter is hit with a pitch on the hands,it is simply a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base.Remember that anytime a batter is hit, it is ALWAYS a dead ball. If batter is swinging and the ball contacts the hands first, we we have a DEAD BALL/STRIKE. If the ball contacts the batter in the strike zone...same result- if it is the third strike in either of these cases-the batter is out.
