I thought this has been a rule, but I watch way more MLB than college. It's a pretty easy call to make. Some players are really good at making it appear like they're trying to get out of the way when they are doing the opposite. Outside of those players, it's a fairly easy call.

I've spoken with an SEC umpire and his general rule is if the batter is crowded over the plate and the pitch is thrown near the plate, he would expect the batter to move away.
However, if the pitch is so far out of the zone that it would travel through the batter's box, he'd call the HBP.
Basically, he would reward a pitcher for having control and penalize him for throwing way out of the strike zone.
