Your daugher can certainly request a measurement, but I wouldn't hold my breath on actually getting one!

Once the lines are gone, it's the umpire's judgement on where the box is. If the umpire wants to nitpick over a couple of inches, so be it.

If there are no lines to reference, it better be pretty obvious that a batter is out of the box. Of course, I am speaking only for myself and cannot speak for any other umpires.
