That's right. The foot or the knee on home plate and striking the ball with the bat = OUT. Now...since the FED is very specific here I assume batters are NOT out when striking the ball when any other part of their body is touching the plate. Example? Say only the shin is on the plate with the knee on the dirt and the foot still on the ground in the box.

Better yet - realistically (sort of) - batter bunts the ball while his knuckles are on home plate.

What is the intent of this rule really?
