If the batter's feet are 6" below the level of the plate, his strike zone is going to be lower as well, no?

I doubt that a batter is going to be able to dig anything more than an inch deep, and if he does then the hole is a safety hazard and needs to be filled in.
In the situation described by the OP, I would ask the home team coach to fill the holes, and prevent batters from digging too deep.
