I want to share a humorous way I solved this situation with a coach in summer league womens game a couple years ago.I would never consider using this tactic in a high level college or high school game but it got my point across to a coach who was harping about a batter being out of the batters box on a slap hit.The very next pitch his pitcher through to the next batter was right down the middle of the plate.I called absolutely nothing after the catcher caught the ball.The coach asked me where the pitch was and I told him I didnt know because I was watching the batters feet.He gave me a wry smile and I didnt hear a word about being out of the box the rest of the game.
