BATTING_REGULATIONS
THE BATTER MUST HAVE BOTH FEET IN THE BATTER’S BOX when the ball is delivered and must have at least one (1) foot in the box when the ball is hit. A foot is considered to be “in the box” if it touches the line designating the batter’s box.

Baseball Rulebook (en)
BASEBALLS: Baseballs licensed by Little League with the “RS-T” (regular season and tournament) designation must be used. LittleLeague.org/TournamentBalls. FIELDS: All fields are considered neutral. The home team shall be determined by the toss of a coin, the winner having the choice.

Fields - Lining for Game Day
The center of the batters box is located at the “side-corner” of the plate (see diagram below). The easiest way to chalk out the batter box is to use a batter box template. If a template is not available for you, get someone else to help you measure out the box.

Little League Baseball® - Understanding The Basic Rules
Since 2017, Little League requires batters to keep one foot in the batter’s box throughout their at-bat, barring eight exceptions provided in the rule book. If the batter leaves the batter’s box or delays play and none of the exceptions apply, the umpire shall warn the batter.

The Batter’s Box belongs to the hitter.
Bat contacts catcher during swing and interferes with catcher’s ability to throw. Follow-through Interference applies to baseball and softball. Penalty: When there are two outs, the batter is out.
