| Slap Hitter is up and the defensive teams wants to move two of there outfielders into the infield on the edge of the dirt before the outfield grass. Is this legal?

| As long you provide a battery (a pitcher and a catcher), with the catcher located in foul territory in the catcher's box, and the pitcher located in the circle on the pitching rubber, you can play the other seven defenders any where you please as long as they're all in fair territory.
Answer to your question: YES!

| Congrats, you guys are all correct. The rule book says that the pitcher shall not deliver a pitch unless all available defensive players are positioned in fair territory, except the catcher who much be in the catcher's box.

| Good question, Neal. Medium as far as difficulty, but still good. Biggest problem that I see most often is when the catcher doesn't know where to set up on an intentional walk, and that she wants to jump outside of the catcher's box before the pitch is deliverd. Umpires need to remember also, that the catcher's box is the entire width of both batter's boxes and 10 feet deep. That's a big area.
