I look at some of those pitches that the major league umpires call balls and I don't understand how they come to that conclusion. Even in slow motion a lot of pitches look right over the plate but are being called balls in the big leagues. I feel that a lot of HS umpires emulate the narrow strike zone of major league umpires. I would personally like to see umpires at all levels expand the strike zone to the book definition. Why is it frowned on by coaches in legion A and higher for an umpire to call a high strike? It is the high strike that is often hit over the fence for a homerun but noone likes it when you call it a strike when the batter is not swinging at it.
