Ump29, do you mean if the bat 'enters' the strike zone, or passes through it and reaches the other side of the plate?

Regardless, we call a strike if the batter attempted to hit the pitch, not in relation to where the bat is in the strike zone. All the different factors people use are just visual aids to assist us.
