I think I have to jump in now. Yo Mike congrats.

Back to the question. I think the base umpire or umpires IF they see the trap have to step in.

What do you do as a base ump if there is a ball that comes off the bat and hits the batter while still in the box, Don't you call foul ball if the plate ump doesn't see it???? I think the trap on the foul tip(foul ball) is the same.If I see a foul (TIP) ball I will call a dead ball right away, same as if it hit the batter.
