I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to hear it from Bretman if he's out there.
Had a batter get a strike called on her last night when her bat incidentally went through the strike zone when she twisted to the left to avoid an inside pitch. If was pretty clear that she was not swinging, but was protecting herself as the pitcher throws some pretty good heat and the batter just acted instinctually. The ball did not touch the batter or the bat.
Good or bad call?
If possible, can you please reference the relevant rule/interpretation?
