I know the rulebook says it, I just thought it was accepted by umpires to not call it. One of those things that we just don't call.

Like I said, I've rarely seen my partner go as high as that midpoint, especially doing the upper level ball of that particular age group, which I was referring to (U trip has some pretty good ball).

But now I'm in the prediciment of being the guy with one of the highest zones (that I have seen). Should I be worried about that.
Stand facing a mirror. Take your right hand and grasp your left elbow and then take your left hand and grasp your right elbow. Any pitch across the plate below your arms in this position is a strike, all age groups. That's a high strike and according to Ted Williams he would bat .350 if you consistently threw him that pitch. At the belly button and one ball above or below he would bat .400. So you are cheating the pitcher to not call this a strike?
