I've played in a league with the mat. 6-12 foot arc on the pitch. Ball must hit the mat to be a strike. The mat had two points that went out to the front of the plate and a rectangular body that extended a couple or so feet back of the plate. After a few years they changed the strike zone to include home plate. Some players like to argue the height or did the edge of the ball REALLY touch the mat? All in all it was a lot of fun.
I umpire a local 3-pitch league. Basic softball except the batter only gets 3 pitches from their own pitcher. The amazing part is that the pitchers are so bad. A small park so homeruns are outs even if the ball goes off a fielders glove. Funny to see guys with the hot new bats! All that money just to be out.
