Q #16: With a count of 1-1, a right-handed batter properly takes his stance within the batter's box. However, as he strides to hit the pitch, most of his front (left) foot lands outside the batter's box--only a small portion of his heel is touching the chalk line that marks the batter's box as the bat makes contact with the ball. The ball ends up getting hit into the stands in foul territory. Is this a strike or an out? You make the call.
A #16:: This is a foul ball...strike. A batter should only be called out if his foot is entirely out of the batter's box when making contact with the ball. The chalk is considered to be in the batter's box.
