I totally agree with your assessement of not calling really out of
the strike zone, strikes. This is more harm than good. Now whenever
a pitcher throws a high one she thinks it is a strike, or a low 6 inches
outside one.
There are other ways to get the outs. You harm both pitcher and
bratter
when you start really expanded strike zone.
My Bratter game tonight {10U] was 31-18...

They will get better as the days come and go, they always do.
