SP question
Was doing a ASA SP game the other night, pitch came in way inside, batter steps completely out of the batter box to avoid pitch, loses sight of the ball (he was talking to the catcher) and the pitch hits his bat. We looked at each other for a second and then I called it a foul ball strike.
I thought about this later and my question to you is, since the batter was compleletly out of the box when the ball hit the bat and since the batter is out if he/she hits a pitch with one foot completely out of the batter's box, should the batter have been called out?
