Now the fair ball comes down and srikes BR on the helmet as he has one foot on the plate and one in the box, ball goes into dugout. He ain't getting no double outta me, he's out for being touched by his fair batted ball.

According to
OBR.6.05 A batter is out when—
(g) His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder;

As long as the batter has one foot on the ground entirely outside of the batter's box, I agree.
