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.

If the ball hits the batter's hand before it hits their bat, it is a hit by pitch and the batter takes first base. If the ball hits the bat first it is a foul ball.

The ball is live and the batter is subject to being put out or reaching 1st base safely.

This will be considered a strike.

The player was on the plate or in the way of the plate.

If the batter is hit in the arm while swinging and he misses the ball the call is a strike.
