Because the strike zone stays over the plate, not next to the batter.
My point exactly, it's where the ball is when it crosses the plate. If the batter is in the front or the back of the box is of no consequence!
OK... whoever raised the batter's box location question was being just a bit over-analyzing, but you did ask why. The why is because the pic shows the ball relative to the batter, and does not show the batter relative to the plate. True, it was stated we were to assume the ball was over the plate - which is getting at exactly the same question - where is the plate?
