That term always baffled me. I know what they were refering to, but also thought it was a misstatment.

Like you said, it's either over the shoulder, "High", or under the knee "Low".

My guess would be someone said "It's High" and the pitcher said "But it wasn't illegal"....maybe that's where the confusion came from.

I've been trying to abide by Pollard's advice and when they ask "Why was that a ball?!?", I just say "Because it wasn't a strike".

=)

(I will give the old head tilt on close pitches)
