Most pitchers are close to 6 ft tall. Just allow something 2 times as high as the pitcher. You should mark 12 ft on a wall. Then have someone pitch sideways along that wall so you can see just how a 12 ft legal pitch is. 12 feet is high. Most umps I know keep squeezing it down to the 10-11 ft mark
.
With regard to the plate. A ball that knicks the front corner & lands to the side CANNOT be a strike. (don't have my book with me but) By definition the pitch in order to be a strike bust cross the plate. Thus it must pass the back corner where the mitre is.
