If a batter steps out of the front of the batter's box and hits the ball, it typically results in a foul ball, as the batter must remain within the confines of the box while making a legal swing. The pitch is considered in play only if the batter is in the box at the time of contact. However, if the batter steps out after the pitch has begun but before hitting the ball, it's often ruled a foul ball, and the count remains unchanged. If the ball is hit fair and the batter is deemed to have violated the box rules, the play might be called dead.
