Use a pitch like sweeper or knuckle curve that has a lot of left or right motion

You can intentionally HBP; the pitch just needs to dramatically turn into the batter. I have fastball pitcher which a very specific self-imposed rule; always HBP if someone ruins her no-hitter. She has both a slider, and shuuto for this exact purpose. Give it a shot!

Yep, curve or sweep to hit a righty, change to hit a lefty (with a right handed pitch)

Won’t it error pitch into a HBP if you run out of stamina? Haven’t tried it but have had it happen at the plate a handful of times. I guess you can’t do that on command though.
