Yes, I've worked Senior tournaments with the mat. However, the players argued about whether the ball hit the mat or not. I think it is one of the worse tools in the game.
The idea of the strike zone is to give each batter an equal opportunity to hit the ball, not to help the defense get by with inferior talent.
Nope, I will not work this in league play. If they want a piece of rubber to replace me behind the plate, they can find another piece of rubber to determine whether it is a legal pitch or not. I'm not interested in those games.
