No, not if it didn't cross some part of the plate. No one has given any indication that it should be a strike or that they call it a strike. Just as legal/illegal pitch, ball/strike is irrelevant to the discussion.

Same thing for allowing the steal. My UIC got on my case over that last year when we allowed stealing in one of the men's leagues here.

Nothing I can do about your UIC except suggest s/he review 8.4.G.2 and POE #50.
I can tell you that when the stealing was first introduced in SP at the Major and Super level, the back corners were used, but that hasn't been for a few years now.
