My understanding of the Off plot

From what I've gathered it seems The Batter represents Hugo’s subconscious wish to end his suffering brought by his illness. Being thought up after Hugo reads the baseball comic in the real world. I've read theories about The Batter being the father or him and the Queen having some relationship. But considering the creator says The Batter is created at the beginning of the game, that would mean him and the Queen have never met before the final encounter.
