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.

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

Should you call him out? Not a chance.

4 Feet Wide

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.
