A lot of the batter's box is in fair territory.

Did the batter come in contact with a fair batted ball?

In NCAA at least, if the batter is in the box when hit it's a foul ball.

I think we always tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the batter and call a dead ball.

But in this case, the BR stepped on a fair batted ball. So does it matter which foot/feet were in or out of the BB?

My question is, does one foot in mean she's in the box, even though the other foot stepped on a fair ball completely out of the box?

The batter is considered to still be in the batter's box, if A foot is on the ground in the box, isn't she? That would make it a foul ball, even if the ball is in fair territory. It may be one of those had to be there situations as to whether you thought all the criteria was met.

Not if the batter is still in the box.

A foul ball is a batted ball that touches the batter or the bat in the batter's hand(s) a second time while the batter is within the batter's box.

I think we're talking about a fair ball, not a foul ball, that the BR contacts.

This is different than the batted ball that hits the ground and then bound up and hits the batter or her bat. Then we'd have a dead ball, foul.

Please provide the reference/exception where the BR contacts a fair batted ball and is not out.
