There are a lot of people would suggest you NEVER draw a line and I would probably be one of them.
I just tell them to move up and hold up play until they do. A batter being out of the box is a judgment call and I'd rather keep it that way. I never go looking for that call and when I make it, there is no question. I always give the benefit of the doubt to the batter.
However, draw one line and you will not be able to make another call concerning the box without drawing another.
JMHO,
