One eye on the ball, the other on the batter's foot. It's an advanced mechanic - simultaneous double monocular tracking. We have a couple of trained lizards teach it at our clinics.

Careful. You might end up like this:

And your third eye on the catcher that is standing up in front of you to catch this pitch.

Could you call him out? Sure, by rule you could.

Should you call him out? Not a chance.

The box if 4 feet wide. How in the heck can he be out of the box while dodging a pitch. No way I call an out of the box out in this situation.
