To the worlds greatest umpire from the region with the worlds best pitchers. You really did miss the pitch about 4 inches.
I belive what the gentleman was really trying to say had nothing to do with a pitch being exactly 4 inches off the plate. Given the width of the ball (+/- 2-3/4") and the velocity at which it is traveling, (90+ you say?) neither you or any one else out there can tell the difference between 1 - 4 inches off the plate. If that pitch looks hitable and is somewhere between 0 - 4inches off the plate. It is a stike. Even at that, after a while the strikzone becomes something you not only see but feel also. When you can see it and feel it, then you really know where it is.
If you tell me that attending a camp will sharping the eye to be that exact, HMMMM!!! ROBO-UMP???
