My strike zone's east and west borders are determined by their approximate location in relation to the outer edges of the 17 inch whitened 5-sided slab of rubber known as home plate. Part of my vision sees this plate on every pitch, and if there is a person standing on it, I'm going to see it.
Garth, this is not a "hypothetical question." This actually happens once in a blue moon. I wanted an answer to the question, "If you did see it, would you call it?" I didn't want an answer to "If you didn't see it?"

I have games where I pray for it
I have a very good zone, so I am told. I Have called this quite a few times. It is usually foot touching the plate but I have seen guys step away from the plate clearly out of the box. How could you not see it and why would you not call it? Once there is a crack or ping, if the guy is out of the box, I am going to see it and not because I am looking for it but, because it is easy to see.
