I don't do softball anymore, but when I did, I don't recall a ceiling that prevented a pitch from going over 12 feet (or whatever it is now) out there. By this, I mean, its a judgment call and if it took you an extra half second to make that judgment call, so be it. It isn't easy; you don't want to call what's not there nor do you want to miss one that is. Some of those illegal pitches are, well, maybe.
I used to get griped out by batters who claimed I didn't call them fast enough and they'd swing.
