Reply to "How were these handled?"

Question on this topic... when a batter takes his stance, does the feet need to be entirely inside the box?  Say on a 3-0 count, the batter inches up to the plate  with heels on the line.  naturally, his arms and body will likely be over the plate, an inexperienced pitcher will likely throw the next pitch way outside the strike zone.   Is the batter considered legal in this instance?  Understand that if he gets hit while he is in the strike zone, it is a strike, not a HBP.
