Hmmm,

OK, I'll try . . .

"The plate's width as it deals with the strike zone."

Sarge took two baseballs:

He set one on the ground so the inner edge of the ball touched the third base edge of the plate.

He set another ball on the ground so the inner edge of that ball touched the first base side edge of the plate.

He then took a marker and marked the outer edges of the same two balls.

He then took a tape and measured the distance from inside of line #1 to the inside of line #2.

That equals 22".

Define that however you want. It is a smaller measurement than Eric Gregg's strike zone.
