First of all, does your definition of a marginal pitch mean that it's actually close enough to be a strike, or is it simply "close" to the zone?
My theory, at the high school level, is that pitch will be a strike. I've learned that most of today's prep players struggle to throw strikes consistently, and consequently if you don't call the close (marginal) strikes, the kids will take more pitches, the games will drag on, and you'll be there all night.
Coaches will tell their players to adjust to your strike zone, and when they do.....they'll be swinging the bat, putting the ball in play, and the games will be a lot more fun for everyone.
