I saw an umpire call a third strike in college baseball this weekend for the batter stepping out of the box. The intent of the rule is not to delay the game. Running to first base on ball 3 is like stepping out of the box x 3. should be an out since all the players are supposed to know the count. why is only defense charged with knowing the count?
