Certainly I agree with adjusting the zone for LEVEL - if you call a HS Varsity zone in LL Minors, you better have a runs per inning limit - but I don't see how you can adjust a zone from batter to batter and have any kind of consistency. Or even stay sane. Maybe I'm just not experienced enough to do it, but I have a tough enough time keeping my zone in one place, let alone remembering all the adjustments for THIS batter with THIS pitcher with THIS count.
As Steve Freix always says, just my opinion.

You have to adjust you zone by batter at least. You cannot call the same zone for a better that is 6'2 to a batter that is 5'4. You better adjust your zone on height alone. If you have a good system or understanding of what you are doing in the first place, it can be very easy to make adjustments from time to time. But the majority of your adjustments are going to be because of the batter and sometimes the catcher. It is what those two individuals are going to do that will affect your strike calls.
