This rule only applies when the batter is in front of the batter's box, like the slap hitter who goes beyond the top line of the box when she gets hit by the pitch.
It does not apply when the batter has her foot completely out of the box (and/or touching the plate) when hit. For example, a batter who squares to bunt and has her back foot on top of the plate gets hit in the arm as she tries to pull her bat back on a high-n-tight pitch.
I assume the ruling in all codes there is a routine HBP, correct?
