No. The batter can step out between pitches and if he is not in the batters box the pitcher can not pitch. However he may not step out once the pitcher is in motion and if any part of him is out of the box when the ball is hit he will be called out.

If the ball is in fair territory and you kick it and have one foot in batters box are you out?
The batter would be out. However, if both feet were in the batter's box, then the batter would not be out and it would be ruled a foul ball.

What is the penalty for a batter standing with one foot outside the batters box in little league?
In Little League, the batter is out if they hit the ball with one foot completely out of the batter's box. There is no penalty if they don't hit the ball. There could be a penalty on the pitcher if the reason the batter has a foot out of the box is because the batter didn't finish stepping into the box. A quick pitch is an illegal pitch which counts as a ball.
If a batters foot touches the side of the plate while swinging is the legal?
No. MLB Rule 6.03 states: "The batter's legal position shall be with both feet within the batter's box. APPROVED RULING: The lines defining the box are within the batter's box." Since home plate is not within the batter's box, touching the plate with a foot while swinging would not be legal.
How far does a little league baseball player stand from the batter?
Your foot can not be placed behind the box. The umpire makes that judgement. If you watch carefully, the first couple batters in a game invariably rub their feet on the ground so as to erase the back of the batter's box. The purpose is to make it difficult for the umpire to rule that the foot is outside the box.

you are in the box, you have to call for time.
Is a batter out when hitting the ball foul with a foot touching home plate?
MLB Rule 6.06a states pretty clearly: "A batter is out for illegal action when (a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box." The question would be whether the batter's feet are "entirely" outside the batters box. I suppose if his toes were touching home plate but the rest of his feet were not, then that would not be "entirely" outside.
When has batter entered the batter's box?
When any foot crosses into the box.
Is batter out if he gets hit by ball ouside batter box is he out?
if he is the batter and INSIDE the batters box he gets 1 st base.....if he is outside of the batters box then he does not get 1st base. it becomes a judgment call if the ump calls it a ball,strike or called time.
Can batter stay in batter's box during a pick off play?
Yes, but the coach won't like it. After every move a pitcher does, it's good practice for the batter to step at least one leg out of the box to regain composure and focus. As long as he has one foot out of the box, the pitcher can't pitch.
If a batter steps on home plate to avoid being hit by a pitch is the pitch a strike?
One Answer:Before the hit yes. After no. the home plate is in fair territory between the batters box and first base so it is often stepped on, however the batter must hit the ball while inside the batters box. Correct Answer:There is no rule in MLB prohibiting a batter from stepping on home plate.
