Thats almost impossible for the PU to see that when concentrating on a 65 mph pitch.It would really have to be obvious or the benifit of doubt is given to the batter.If her foot is out of the box,but even a few inches off the ground when contact is made she is alright.Again,very difficult to see when focusing on the pitch which is the PU first priority.As a whole,I think the WCWS Umpires are doing an excellent job from the games I saw on TV.
