you have to stand at the plate to bat (or he may have been sitting directly behind)

Explanation:
At bat as a phrase
"At bat," "up," "up at bat," and "at the plate" are phrases in baseball describing someone that is facing the pitcher. Interestingly, just because a player is at bat does not mean he will be given an at bat in his statistics, and in fact just signifies a plate appearance.
