The inner line of the batter's box is 6" from the plate. ASA 2-3-C.

Prior to the pitch, the batter's feet must be completely within the batter's box. Since the lines are considered within the box, this means the batter's feet may be no closer than 6" to the plate before you allow a pitch. ASA 7-3-A.

The batter is out if the batter's foot is in contact with the plate when the bat and ball make contact. ASA 7-6-E.

There is no violation if the batter's foot is in contact with the plate and the bat and ball do not make contact.
