Ballantyne was cited for an off-the-ball hit on West Coast's Scott Selwood on Saturday night at Patersons Stadium.
The incident took place in the first quarter of Fremantle's 28-point win, with video evidence and a medical report from the Eagles used in the assessment.
His charge incurred a penalty of 125 demerit points, and given the small forward's existing poor record, his one-match sanction would not have been able to be reduced with an early guilty plea.
Fremantle's decision means the AFL Tribunal will not sit on Tuesday night.
