The batter cannot be expected to disappear. Standing in the box is a good place to be. However, just because he's standing still in the box does not exclude him from INT. If he has ample time to realize the play and get out of the way, standing there not moving becomes INT.
It boils down to umpire's judgment on whether he had time to react to the play, if he's standing in the box. 9 times out of 10 he'll be OK.
It's a pretty simple rule, but it's judgment on whether or not it's viloated.
