I called in a tournament this year with a guy that does the same thing, goes down on one knee. I asked him the same question that I ask everyone I have ever seen do that. How do you set yourself to the different size strike zones? (Me...I am always set at the top of the strike zone, which of course varies from batter to batter, especially in the 12 year old division.) His answer...I just know where it is.
Odd that he knew where it was, because I honestly don't think that he ever called a strike above the belt. However, I must add in his defense that he was quite consistent. Passed balls and WPs did cause some problems, though, since he was less than mobile in that position.
I would also like to echo Joel sentiment that I certainly hope none of us ever become fodder for a message board somewhere.
