I 100% agree...if you ARE SURE the batter was out of the box/stepped on the plate/etc, then call it dead and call batter out. If there is any doubt, then don't call it.
I called one girl there times in one game this year for being out of the box...twice she stepped on the plate. Know what coach said? Yep, he said:
You're the only one to call her on it, and she's done the same thing all year.
Knowing the coach, I gave him the puzzled look...he then said:
And she's been out of the box all year, but no one has the guts to call it.
