While I was reading a different thread I got to thinking about one of the biggest complaints that I get from teams all year. Keep in mind I primarily do SP.

Well the problem starts this way -- Every good lead off batter manages to completely remove the chalk box before they even step into the box. Later on someone "step swings" and may or may not have been out of the box. I dont know a) because I dont have a tape measure to determine and b) the lines that help me judge this are gone.

I typically dont call this unless the player stands on the plate as the make contact.

How do others here handle this situation?
