I have had to make this call three times already this year, and not one on a drag bunt. This should be something you watch for when a batter squares, especially to sacrifice. They will reach for the outside pitch. They will step forward with their outside foot with the foot closest to home they will step and reach out in front of home plate.

I have seen this at my games, but 99% of the time when contact with the ball is made the foot has not yet come down to make contact with the ground.
