Batter steps out of the box during the pitch.
If the batter steps out the batter’s box during the pitch and the pitcher delivers the pitch, a strike is called on the batter. If there is a runner on base, and the batter leaves the batter’s box with both feet during the pitch and the pitcher delivers the pitch, two strikes are called on the batter. If the pitcher doesn’t deliver the pitch there is no penalty for the batter or pitcher.
