Hallo Rocky Top!

The box is tight to the plate, pitcher has rights to toss off the plate, B's like to take more space than they deserve sometimes.

Careful with this set in concrete attitude, real baseball is never set in anayh concrete

I got a new one for new and old. Pitch is inside, doesn't matter if curve, fastball, knuckle ball, or whatever. Batter doesn't move AT ALL, no duck, squat, shoulder turn, twitch, etc. No movement whatsover, NADA. These guys stay in the box, along with the ones that lean into a pitch. I promise it is less than 0.1% of the at bats you will see, but the batter must make an effort to do SOMETHING in FED. A frozen statue goes to 1B in NCAA, in FED he should stay in the box.

I seriously doubt that you do but go ahead......

Yes, it most positively does matter.

There is a thread called "Intelligence and Flexibility".

Read it.

Thanks for the Hallo, Go Big Orange!

Anyway, I stand by my previous statement. If the batter doesn't cause himself to be hit, if the ball's in the box, the batter's going to first.
