Hmmmm,

I am rather surprised that the "high Strike" is even mentioned.

I work a pretty high quality of baseball and we are expected to call anything below the letters a strike (see 'justme' above) and there is never a peep about it.

Since I do not work "non-shaving aged players" I would guess that that strike zone could even be bigger.

The days (even in the hotbed of baseball, Connecticut) of ending the high strike at 2" above the belt is a thing of the past. Every upper level evaluator looks for the "high strike" as a given in this modern age.

Regards,
