NO WAY!!! The batter can't change boxes unless a relief pitcher comes in. Onece the batter starts from one side he stays... just as the pitcher must choose to pitch right/left handed. No written rule, just common sense and good game management. Don't let a batter play games with switching sides. The rule/case book should address this but... since they don't it's up to our good judgement to keep the game going and not allowing it to happen. The pitcher can't change throuwing hands... the batter can't change batters boxes, it's that simple.

Here's something simple: You're mistaken...100%
