Is batting out of order an automatic out once the player gets in the box and a pitch is thrown? Or do they have to complete their at bat?

Thanks in advance

Speaking ASA, (your rules may vary)..

The defense must appeal to get the out, but timing is everything.

If the defense appeals while the batter is still up to bat, the correct batter is merely brought up to complete the turn at bat, assuming the existing count. All play up to that point is legal and stands. Also, if the offense discovers the error before the batter completes the turn at bat, the offense may correct the error without penalty.

If the defense appeals after the batter has completed the at bat, but before the next pitch is thrown (or if at the end of the half inning before the infield and pitcher have left fair territory), the player who should have batted is declared out, all outs made during the at bat stand, and any runners who advanced are returned to their bases and any runs scored are nullified. The next batter up is the batter following the one declared out.

The rule is ASA 7-2-B, C, EFFECT.

Speaking FED

Everything Dakota said is true, except that (basically) the batter's action does not count. If she got on base, she is removed. If she was put out, the out is nullified. The only outs are those made on any other runners, plus the out on the player that failed to bat in the right place.
