Anybody consider that the batter may have been standing on the inside portion in the back of the box?

BTW, rule 7.4 only directs the umpire when to call a strike. Rule 8.1 specifies when a batter becomes a BR and it only notes the ball be in the strike zone, not the batter.

The pitch/play as described can only be ruled a strike and dead ball.
