Rad,
Why would you call a strike if the pitch is not a strike?
His penalty is very clear - live ball, the pitch is what it is.
Are you " punishing " the batter for stepping out?
What if it is dust in his eyes, cramp, who knows?
Your statement sounded like no matter what, he gets the strike.
Just curious why you want to officiate in that manner.
I like to hear all reasoning when I read statements like the one you made.
Thanks.
