Sergio gave you the box dimensions and as you can see a call such as that one is nearly impossible in a softball game.

Hold on there JEL,
The ol' cathcer setting up out of the box is becoming more and more common here in Florida.
I have called it and have seen it called numerous times in the last couple of years.
I have also seen it called in a D1 game once last year.

I also see many teams where the catcher gets outside right as the pitch is released, I would say that is ok.
