First day on here and reading some other threads I notice problems with catchers setting up deep.

Don't we have an actual catcher's box we can enforce?

For instance, on a pitch-out a catcher can't leave his box before the ball is released, so I know the box exists. I'm pretty sure it has a back end to it also. Why not draw it with our feet if needbe to save ourselves from the catcher who is 5 feet behind the dish?

A catcher who sets up 5 feet behind the plate is well within the catcher's box. The back line is 8 feet from the point of the plate.
