If a pitch comes in below the elbows it could very likely be called a strike, especially if directly over the plate. Tee has said his zone is like an egg, oblong in shape. Mine is more like a bullit, flat across the bottom. Below the elbows and dead center will be a strike. Below the elbows and in or out might not be, depending on how well it was caught.

I will admit, the top of my strike zone does tend to "bubble". What I mean is that pitch that comes across down the middle and is borderline on height gets the benefit, while the ones on the outside and inside seem not to.
Is this OK?
