Let me get this straight, cowboyfan.
If the catcher sets up in the middle of the plate, you give him the full white portion of the plate. 17 inches (plus the width of the ball on both sides).
But if the catcher sets up outside, he only gets a portion of the plate? Or do you give him additional space on the outside of the plate proportionate with the amount of space you're taking away from him on the inside of the plate? Not sniping (yet), just curious. Is the width of "your" zone less than 17" (plus the ball) if the catcher is not in the center of the plate?
PS - can you show me in any book (rulebook, casebook, J/R, anything) where it discusses the necessity for the pitcher to hit the glove instead of throwing it over the plate?
