How do you handle batters who crouch down during wind up/release to shrink their strike zone?

I like to set up with my eyes at their pits, top of my strike zone and I hold it... I dont readjust for them based on that movement.. but in another one from last night.. the coach cried a few times when i would call a strike from the batters original position.

"Hey that was acrossed her eyes!" "Yeah, well your batter scrunched" was my envisioned conversation so I just ignored the coaches comments. Oddly, it was their pitcher who habitually did this at every at bat. But a few others did it too.. i started suspecting it may even be taught. (ASA 12U btw)
