It’s just dumb when the ball is in the batters box.

It should only be if you’re moving into the plate

To be fair, Dickinson has taking a few hits in the elbow in Omaha.

Exactly.

Instead of trying to judge intent, go by the batter's box. If it's in the box he gets first base. If not it's a normal ball/strike.

If it’s a ball and would be called a ball, because it’s in the batters box, then the worst that should happen is it’s called a dead ball and the batter is made to come back into the box for another pitch, not a strike.

Needs to be changed. If it’s not in strike zone, shouldn’t matter

Exactly. Nobody needs to hurt themselves getting out of the way of a ball heading right at them.
