Jose Rondon hit a pitch in the batter's box, then hit it again on his way to first for good measure

We've seen the hitting-the-ball-twice-on-one-swing thing happen multiple times this season. But during the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Padres on Tuesday, José Rondón took things a step further.
On a 1-1 pitch from Zach Davies, the Padres prospect nubbed a weak grounder in front of the plate, and then, maybe by accident or maybe because he wasn't satisfied with his first swing -- Rondon hit the ball again on his way to first base:

The umpires ruled that Rondon was outside of the batter's box when he hit it a second time and he was called out for interference. It was a good thought, though, Jose. Next time just make sure to do it inside the batter's box. Like so:
