Ok, now I'm a little confused. Most batters are up in front of the plate while in the box. (that puts their front foot in fair territory). So, if a batted ball goes straight down and hits her ankle on her front foot, she would be out????

No, a batted ball which hits the batter while in the batter box is a foul.
Even if the batter is in the fair part of the box, rules designate that a foul.
