Agreed

Bob:

Here in Oregon the two key members of our state training crew both work PAC-10 and WCC schedules.

They are told to call the "high" strike.

The "olden days" of calling anything a "ball" that is more than one ball above the belt are gone.

The two college evaluators I talk with have been told to be sure that all umpires call the "higher" strike zone as determined by the NCAA.

The "higher" strike is now defined as a pitch that is slightly below the lettering on the uniform top or basically at the bottom of the sternum.

Regards,
