If I notice a batter who is not setup in the box properly and the pitcher has not started his motion, I will loudly call TIME and instruct the batter to take a proper position. If you don't catch it in time and a pitch is delivered, there is no violation unless the batter contacts the ball with his foot on the ground completely OUTSIDE the box, in which case, he is out. Otherwise, it's basically a "Don't Do That" call.
