Re: more on foot on the plate, clarification

as far as out of the box, must the foot be all the way out?
and would this,too, be contingent on contacting the ball?
Thanks.

  1. The batter must touch the ball. (Fair/foul/foul tip: It doesn't matter.)
  2. The batter must be touching the plate (FED/NCAA) or touching the plate with his foot completely out of the batter's box. (OBR)

      Note carefully: Touching the plate is irrevelant in OBR games because the batter is out NOT for touching the plate but for touching the ball while one foot is completely outside the box.
