Ok here is the scenario and example. This team here had their batters moved way up in the box to where they had to be out of the box. Some players were actually probably out prior to the pitch and most would have been out with the stride. Back foot 6 inches in front of the plate. Umpire said there was no physical box anymore so he could not call anything. The TD then tells the ump that both feet would need to be out of there was a box so it was ok. I thought any time the player was out prior to pitch it was not allowed? They struggled hitting the pitches with movement so their coach told them to move up farther and farther since it was not being called.
Is there a rule about must be in the box, even if there is no more chalk there?
