So that is just another way of saying" The centerline of the kneecap". Right?

That's a phrase that could use some cleaning up.
The centerline of the knee cap is just that. The hollow of the knee is the point at which the knee cap ends (toward the foot). It is not hollow, it is filled with the tendon that connects the knee cap to the lower leg bone.

And this centerline moves, so does the zone, up and down as the knee cap moves up and down as you bend your knee.

Several morons, er less intellectually enhanced umpires, use this variation in the lower part of the strike zone to make their case that your original position as you get in the box is the zone they call. See standing figure in OBR.
