OBR 2.00 "STRIKE ZONE": The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is
prepared to swing at a pitched ball.
FED 2-35 "STRIKE ZONE": The height of the strike zone is determined by the batter's
normal batting stance. If the crouches or leans over to make the shoulder line lower, the umpire determines height by what would be the batter's normal stance.
Bolding mine. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the zone determined as the pitch is made, not as the batter makes his swing?
