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.

It is a strike. It happened as a player was hit in the leg as they were squared up to bunt. His back foot was outside the batter's box and behind the plate, where he was struck with the pitch. It was called a strike.

Batter hits a pitch and the ball bounces and hits the batter is he out?
it depends on the situation. If the count is two strikes then it is an out because if the batter is insied the box then it is a fould ball and a two strike foul ball on a bunt attempt is an out. If there is one strike or zero strikes then the batter can be called out or a foul ball. If he is still in the batter's box and the ball touches him then it is a fould ball but if the batter is outside the batter's box and the ball touches him, then he is out.
Batter hits the ball with one foot out of the batters box?
If the batter makes contact with a batted ball while in the batter's box, it is a "dead" ball and declared foul. ---------- True enough, sort of. If a batted ball touches the batter while he is still in the batter's box, then it is foul. However, if the batter hits the ball, and it comes to rest in the batter's box or the batted ball is touched by a defensivce player while it is in the batter's box, and the ball did not touch the batter, it is either fair or foul, depending on the position of the ball at the time it came to rest or was touched by a defensive player. The front portion of the batter's box is in fair territory, and if a batted ball comes to rest or is touched by a defensive player in that part of the batter's box, then it's a fair 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.
Is the batter out if a batted ball hits him as he's running to first base?

What is the rule about getting hit by a pitch in softball?
The batter must be inside the batting box up until the point after the ball makes contact with the bat. Batters must wear helmets with little caged masks. If a ball is thrown to a hard-to-hit spot that is not in the "batting zone," then the batter does not have to swing. That is called a ball. If the batter gets four balls thrown against them, then it is considered a "walk," where the batter gets to first base automatically. If the pitcher throws the ball to a hittable area, it is called a strike, regardless of if the batter swings or not. If the batter gets 3 strikes, they are out. Foul balls count as strikes unless there are already 2 strikes; then the batter stays up to bat until they hit it fair, strikeout, or get walked. 3 outs end the inning and the teams switch places.
