I have been told that babe ruth uses FED rules, but I thought I saw on here that they used modified OBR. Which is it?

How big is your strike zone with this age? I was thinking about an inch and a 1/2 on the outside, none on the inside, nothing high, and at the tops of the knees. Sound Good? Too Big? Too Small?

Thanks guys.
Until your daytime job is officiating baseball and they dictate exactly how big or small your strike zone should be, MAKE IT BIG. But stay consistant. Usually, the more strikes you call early gets them swinging the bat and that helps to take you out of the game latter. Usually.

If it doesn't and the game goes by faster and you stay consistant, two things will usually happen: 1. It probably was a good game and 2. You will be considered as having done a good job. Whats so bad with that?

A Bigger Zone is ALWAYS better in my opinion.
