On a legal pitch, I'm going to say yes. Remember, natural stance. It's the batter at the plate, not the front leg alined with the front edge of the plate. Most likely, that front knee is going to be in front of the plate.

However, if you want to call it a ball, feel free. I've only got one suggestion. Make sure your car is idling in the parking lot and you have a clear path to it.
