Rule 7-3-A: Prior to the pitch, the batter must have both feet completely within the lines of the batter's box. The batter may touch the lines, but no part of the foot may be outside the lines prior to the pitch.

Now the question. What is the proper mechanic for when a batter does have part of his foot over the line? Do you hold up the pitcher until they are completely within the batter's box? If you failed to do so and you notice it after the pitch has been delivered, what then? If the batter makes contact with the ball, what do you do?

Thanks!
Randall
