24" width
Single umpire game (which means no one is cleaning off the pitcher's plate between innings). 14U, 2 strong teams. One pitcher takes a wide step, which is probably outside the width much of the time, once definitely outside the width (which I call).
With the pitcher's plate half buried, I gave her the benefit of the small amount of doubt I had that she was outside the width.
I hope my choice of words make it clear I was almost (but not completely) sure she was stepping outside the width, but since the plate was obscured, I wasn't 100% certain.
Did I do right by not making the call (except for the one time when she left no doubt)?
