I think Culbreth's strike zone was outstanding tonight.
I had just given a 20-minute clinic to a team on the strike zone yesterday morning. (As we all know, many players get all the way to college without knowing what the strike zone really is and how it can sometimes be interpreted.) So after spelling it all out to a bunch of wide-eyed players, then we have Fieldin Culbreth behind the plate with all of those cameras and K-zones, and any of those players who watched that game got a GREAT course on ...1) how a pitcher's umpire's strike zone works, and 2) how a great off-speed pitcher plays around with a pitcher's umpire masterfully.

What a GREAT lesson that game was!
