Also, I believe since the batter will have left the plate before being hit by the ball, it would be considered a strike... Or a ball, if no part of the ball makes it through the strike zone.

Ah, that's interesting! Would the X-Ray cloud be sufficient to completely blow the batter out of the box before any part of him is hit by the ball-cloud nanoseconds later? I expect some piece of batter is going to be hit by some matter that originated in the ball, within the batter's box.
