On the military bases that used to be in Panama, Panama, if the pitched ball hit the plate you were out. Games moved very quickly. I had a few hit the plate cause they were unhittable for me. Well over 12 feet. Had to walk back to the dugout mad as heck.
The funny thing was, that pitchers hard the hardest time hitting that mat. They all tried to throw pitches around the plate to get batters to swing at ugly offerings. Did not matter to me, since I did not go to the game to walk. I love hitting to much. Generally, if I got nothing on 3 pitches, I was definitely swinging if it was close on the fourth one. Rarely, do I take a 3-0 count where it is hittable. I'm not into walking and I did not come to the game for it.
