Thanks, that helps

Just to verify that we are on the same page, based on the fact that the definition of leaving the box requires one or both feet to be completely out of the batters box, then in the situation below the batter would NOT be out.

Situation B:

B1 starts out with both feet inside the batters box. He then places his front foot so that some portion but not all is outside the batters box without requesting time. Has he left the batters box?

NO, he has not left the box.

He then replaces his front foot in the box and hits the pitch. Time was never granted. Do we have an out?


NO OUT!
