Mat ball
I have called Mat ball several times over the last few years and dont really have a problem with it when it is the choice of the organization or league that I have called it in. As a player or umpire I do not prefer it but at times it is useful. Mostly in Senior leagues it cuts out a lot of the arguing from guys that dont see quite as well as they use to and it always fun when they include HP as part of the strike zone and a 6' arc pitch hits right on the front of the plate. Anyway usally just call it for 4 or 5 tournaments a year and dont see it being a big problem one way or another as long as I still get paid at the end.
