I'm kind of surprised you haven't seen this before....

I have seen it a few times at the college level in the past, maybe 3-4 years ago, not so much recently.

Nothing illegal about it...I was told that it was designed to get the defense to relax when they saw the bat being dropped behind the back, thinking that the batter wasn't going to swing at the pitch. But, in order to do it effectively, you have to be pretty quick with the bat and the footwork has to be especially good to stay in the box.

I just think it was one of those things things that somebody tried, found out it didn't work as well as they thought it would and just kind of died....
