OK.. we will accept that. You have to take the secret oath of silence, because this is OUR secret (umpires).
A pitch can be FAT, hittable, belt to top of knees, one full ball width off the plate 3". CALL THIS A STRIKE everytime! NObody on the planet knows the exact location of this pitch except YOU and the catcher. No one will grumble, no one will complain. You will probably only call it once or twice.. the rest of the time it will be HIT or fouled off. But batters swinging will be established.
Other than self torture.. there is no reason to force a pitcher to hit "white" in this area.
