There are many factors that go into calling a strike, and what appears to be a 'low' pitch could very well be a strike. Many little league catchers set up very far away from the plate, so a pitch that is caught 2 inches off the ground probably passed through the strike zone. A properly coached catcher is an umpires dream!!
