stepping out of box w/o time out

[Roger Greene]

Fed, Mike.
Actually the correct cite is 7-3-1 EFFECT 2.

The pitch shall be called a strike. The ball is live.

If a strike hits a batter, we have a dead ball strike.
(Not specifically covered by 7-2-1 g but unless I'm convinced that F1 intentionally threw the pitch at the batter I'm going to extend this rule to the play at hand by 10-2-2. {Unless somebody has a cite or play that would overrule}.)

If the batter touches the ball with the bat while out of the batter's box, then dead ball and out per 7-3-2.
