I agree with Jeff and bossman. I generally dont keep them in the box unless its obvious to Granny in the top row that the batter deliberately looked to be hit. This usually happens on slooooooooooow breakers that take an hour to reach the plate, and the batter could take a nap and still avoid the pitch.
On smokin' fastballs where the batter does NOT lean out, etc, he's going to first.
