Call it by the book at this level, but remember that any part of the ball passing through the zone is a strike and since the ball is nearly 3 inches wide it could "appear" to the fans to be 2 inches inside or outside and actually have nearly an inch in the zone. Also, in OBR the low end of the zone is at a line at the hollow below the knee, not the knee itself, a difference of maybe two inches, and given that the ball is nearly 3 inches in diameter, well.. low pitches can be strikes too. Give me a pitcher who consistently throws the ball on the corner(s) of the plate, at the hollow of the knee, and the batters better figure out very quickly to swing or go back to the bench.
