I don't know what Rita's meaning of near the plate is, 1" or 2" or whatever..... take a pretty dang small foot to not be partly on the line and be near the plate. ( I dont want to get caught up on distances to the plate as they are irrelavant... the point of focus to my thinking is the other part of the foot and the line)
Let me qualify my comments first. I am speaking ASA, and to the best of my knowledge, just about every other rules set of which I am aware. If NFHS is different, they are probably the odd-man out.

COMPLETELY inside the batter's box. That means that no part of the foot can be touching the ground outside of the batter's box.
