beachbum,

There is no "out" to be had for this.

Simply instruct the batter to assume a legal position.

If he does it again, instruct him again. Repeat as necessary.

If he gives you any attitude about it, dump him.

Some might suggest a "directed strike", but that's not really what that rule is for.
