Warren,

my Post about legally ending a at bat was in a way incomplete. (lack of time)
Now a give the complete answer:

The term "legally" in legally ending a at bat has nothing to do with proper/improper batter in a BOT.
OBR 6.04 says it loud and clear.

If the batter becomes a runner, he ends his at bat legally.

Has the improper batter become a runner, when he is walked??
Of course he is now a runner, so he ends his at bat legally.
Don't get confused by the term "legally".

OBR speaks of proper/improper batter, not legal/illegal batter, and so by good reason.
Because just to avoid this mix-up.

By just reading OBR 6.04 it is very clear.
