I believe that it was a strike but most of us will not call this pitch because the catcher catches it so low but when I see this pitch I have called it for strikes but hear nothing but grief so I have been trying to hold back on this call but you know your first instinct is to call how you see it. Just wondering your thoughts on this one.
Thanks Mike

The pitch is low. Why fight it? Those that say the catcher has no bearing on whether a pitch is a ball or a strike don't work higher level baseball or get yelled at a lot.
