Fair territory starts at the back corner of HP and goes in a straight line to the outside edge of the 1st and 3rd base bags and continues to the fence or end of the playing area. If the ball first touched the catcher anywhere in this area, fair ball. If it was first touched outside of this area, foul ball. Batters box has nothing to do with fair/foul except that in most instances a batter that is hit by a rebounding ball while in the box will incur a foul ball. If it strikes the batter in fair territory, then the batter is out.
