If a slapper sets up forward, then there is a good chance they could be out of the box. Their pre pitch positioning sets off my radar.

Their foot must be COMPLETELY outside the box when contact is made... thats not usually going to happen with a regular hitter.

NFHS rules - if they pull it back or are pulling it back, that would be good enough. They arent holding it there and they arent offering, so its not a strike.


Your problem was not rules, it was game management. You should have shut him down, he was a cancer of that game and was violating the rules when arguing judgment. You had him and let him go.
