Eugene asked: Is their an actual catchers box and does the catcher need to stay in that box prior to a pitch being thrown? Can he set up outside this box?

Rick answered: Eugene, thank you for your question.

MLB rule 2.00: The Catcher's Box is that area within which the catcher shall stand until the pitcher delivers the pitch.

As you look at the photos above, you can see the catcher's box directly behind home plate.

Generally, during a game, those lines get erased due to the traffic.

Depending on the level, there are times the catcher's box gets left out when the field is lined; but it is supposed to be intact at the beginning of each game.

The catcher's box measures 43" wide x 8' long, as measured from the back point of home plate.

The MLB rule covering the catcher's box is 4.03:

(a)The catcher shall station himself directly back of the plate. He may leave his position at any time to catch a pitch or make a play except that when the batter is being given an intentional base on balls, the catcher must stand with both feet within the lines of the catcher's box until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand.

Penalty: Balk

Great Pitch. Bad Call. Little League though so not MLB strike zone.

**chico2663** · 07-12-17, 02:28 AM

looks like a greg maddox call

**19th Hole** · 07-12-17, 02:39 AM

Just a bit generous.

**JMobile** · 07-12-17, 02:52 AM

Got the back door strike.

**brooks85** · 07-12-17, 07:46 AM

I'm surprised no one went crazy on the ump, found a longer video on youtube from almost 6 years ago lol

**Kermit** · 07-12-17, 08:06 AM

No doubt that was a strike

**TheMoneyShot** · 07-12-17, 10:45 AM

Not trying to be the party pooper here...

But the camera angle is shaded right side of pitcher's mound towards home plate... so it's going to look way outside.

If the angle was right down the middle... might of caught a piece of the plate. Just saying.

**packerd_00** · 07-12-17, 11:18 AM

Was that meant to be the Little League WS.

**StackinGreen** · 07-12-17, 01:49 PM

That would have hit a left handed batter, easy. Haha, Frank Drebin of the Police Squad must be behind the plate.

Good stuff

**tony_come** · 07-12-17, 01:52 PM

Right down the middle

Must be related to Angel Hernandez...

**MickeyMan** · 07-12-17, 02:02 PM

Easily a strike, and he should have tossed the batter from the game too.

**jtoler** · 07-12-17, 03:02 PM

Youre looking at an angle, was right down the middle.

**u21c3f6** · 07-12-17, 03:11 PM

Right down the middle of the left hand batter's box.
