I heard that too. I heard another discussion (I think it was during the NCAA World Series) that "they can't see the outside corner as well (this way) because they're looking all the way across the plate to see it." Brief discusion about the angle of view etc. and calling pitches that are outside as strikes. Completely oppostie from anything proven to be true.
