Slowpitch Softball Batter's Box Dimensions & Placement - ASA Rules

Question
What is the size and placement of the batters box? I was called out for stepping to fart forward with no visible lines for a box

Answer
Hi Brad,

the box is 7' by 3' with 4' in front of a line drawn through the center of the plate.

remember that any part of the foot touching any part of the line is considered in the box so you would have to have the heel of your shoe about 5' in front of the center of the plate to be out of the box.
