NR, The brushoff pitch is rarely thrown at the batter. It is used to brush back a hitter with indifference for the hitter's comfort. Sort of like my boy saying "I wasn't throwing at my sister, just very near my sister." You see a batter can read pitches better if he extends his head over the plate, but in doing so, he gets his body in the strike zone occasionally. Well the strike zone is supposed to belong to the pitcher, but if the batter encroaches the strike zone, he effectively narrows the strike zone. The only answer is the brushback. Painting the sport with a rare beanball is the same as disparraging hockey with a rare highstick.
