    Rule 6.02
    50
    (c) If the batter refuses to take his position in the batter’s box during his time at bat, the
    umpire shall call a strike on the batter. The ball is dead, and no runners may
    advance. After the penalty, the batter may take his proper position and the regular
    ball and strike count shall continue. If the batter does not take his proper position
    before three strikes have been called, the batter shall be declared out.
    Rule 6.02(c) Comment: The umpire shall give the batter a reasonable opportunity to take his
    proper position in the batter’s box after the umpire has called a strike pursuant to Rule 6.02(c) and
    before the umpire calls a successive strike pursuant to Rule 6.02(c).

    Using the above, pitcher could in theory strikeout the side without ever throwing a pitch.

    Not a HR, but I’ve seen a guy score on his own bunt, and it was a Red! The great Anderson Machado. 2004 in Atlanta. 4th inning.

    I remember that but I thought it was just a dribbler.
