Intentional walk

I know that the idea of this happening is foreign but here in Florida it is becoming a habit.
So many kids play travel ball that allows everything, ie money paves the way ball, that we are starting to see this in high school too.
It is an illegal pitch.

What we see here is that the catcher sets up legally and as the pitcher winds up but before the ball is released, the catcher is outside the box.

Yeah, way over there. Or sometimes on top of the plate (when the batter is up in the front of the box)
