The committee is concerned that batters are still attempting to be hit by pitches and earn an undeserved awarded base by ""taking one for the team."" Rule 7-3-4 clearly prohibits a batter allowing himself to be hit by a pitch.

I don't see anything in this interpretation about the pitch being in the batter's box or out of the batter's box!
