I will have to reread RS8 but I know it says it's in IP if the catcher isn't in the catchers box till the pitcher releases the ball, and Rule 2 says that catchers box starts at the back of the batter's box. I know I have reminded catchers to make sure they aren't in front of the back of the box. Bottom line if someone presses the issue how will you win on a protest? Rule says have to be in the box and the box is 10' starting from the back of the batters box, seems like F2 can't be in front of that line to me.
