A little spread is of course not in the book, but sometimes is needed. In 10U FP, if you call "By The Book", you may be in for a long night. If the pitchers hit 1 strike out of 7,or 8, I call anything hittable a strike.

Jel,
Secion 2 Plate Mechanics - FastPitch - NFHS Umpires Manual.
In calling balls and strikes, it is generally most accepted to
bring the pitch down or up into the strike zone and widen it out, making
sure to give a good corner.
Sure, go for it.
