Whether a ball that hits the batter is a hit-by-pitch which entitles the batter to first base depends on the rule set's requirements on the batter. For example, USA still requires an attempt to move while NFHS does not.
This was my question, thanks for the reply. Our league uses NFHS and does not have a house rule for this. But with the umpire situation the way it is these days, I'm just happy when we get an ump who actually makes an effort. None of the ones we get even know that there are different rule sets.
