When does a batters turn start?
Stat-sheet wise, a batter's turn officially starts when the first pitch happens. However, there are a number of ways he could not get credit for the plate appearance. If he leaves the at-bat -- injured, ejected, or otherwise -- he does not get a plate appearance. The only exception is if he leaves with two strikes and the new batter strikes out, then the first batter is charged with a strike-out. (See rule 10.15b)
When a batter swings at a pitcher and misses it?
If the batter swings and the ball hits anywhere but the bat the pitch is called a strike. Even if it hits the person batting, while swinging, but if he is bunting and gets hit it is not a strike There is no rule that states that if a batter is attempting to bunt and a pitched ball hits him that the pitch is anything but a strike. In short, if a batter is hit during any type of swing, the pitch is ruled a strike.

What is the rule about getting hit by a pitch in softball?
The batter must be inside the batting box up until the point after the ball makes contact with the bat. Batters must wear helmets with little caged masks. If a ball is thrown to a hard-to-hit spot that is not in the "batting zone," then the batter does not have to swing. That is called a ball. If the batter gets four balls thrown against them, then it is considered a "walk," where the batter gets to first base automatically. If the pitcher throws the ball to a hittable area, it is called a strike, regardless of if the batter swings or not. If the batter gets 3 strikes, they are out. Foul balls count as strikes unless there are already 2 strikes; then the batter stays up to bat until they hit it fair, strikeout, or get walked. 3 outs end the inning and the teams switch places.
