It depends on the level of talent, and what the league wants. Some don't have the talent, and want a bigger zone. I do some good Babe Ruth games around here, and I call an inch all the way around, and remember, any part of the ball can pass through the zone, which means even that inch can look like more since the edge of the ball is all that has to pass through. And also, even the MLB rule says the low part of the zone is the hollow beneath the knee, not the top of the knee, so take your zone down about 4-5 inches from where you have been if you are calling the top of the knee. For tournament games I call pitches by the book.
