The ball touching is a legal strike. The second ball, as the dad of a pitcher, I hope is called a strike but legally out of the zone and what I would consider two balls off the plate. If balls over the chalk (3 balls out) are getting called strikes it's going to be a tough day for the batters.

And as matt indicated, many time the box is only "one ball" off the plate. I have actually measured some artificial fields, with permanent boxes, where such is the case.
