just curious. is the plate 17" including the black? or no?
If not, and you include the approximate 1" of black on either side in the strike zone, thats 19" then the approximate 3" diameter (what the heck is the diameter of a baseball?) Thats a total of 25" of space that a pitch can be within and still be a strike, if only a fraction of the ball crosses only a fraction of the black. Thats also assuming you call all of that.
