The strike zone width is 21" wide. 17" for the plate, plus about 2" width of the ball if it nix the outside of the plate.
So with that, you have a good catcher that can frame a pitch very good and still his mitt, you probably have a 27" wide strike zone.
Who's going to argue. No one can see but you, the batter, the catcher, and the pitcher. Coach sees a different angle (heighth) and if it is between nipples and knees, who cares about the width! Tell 'em to take that pitch the other way.
