On fields with an incorrectly drawn batter's box (i.e. drawn "backwards" with 4 feet to the rear, or drawn using a baseball template, etc.) I will erase the lines myself and inform the coaches why. I won't redraw them, but I will erase them if they are incorrect - especially on a HS field where it is an infraction for the players themselves to intentionally erase the lines.
