surely there must be something, or the batter could stand anywhere he wanted to.
Is there any rule pertaining to this? I don't do above high school, so let's keep college rules out of it.

When "waiting for a pitch", the batter's feet must be entirely in the box (no portion may extend beyond a line). See 7-1-1 and 2-7-2.
When "hitting a pitch" it's illegal only if the entire foot is beyon the line (or, in FED or NCAAA touching the plate).
