This place is harmful if you come in and complain that umpires have blatantly biased strike zones and have it out for you.

Typically, LL umpires who are working 8-10 Minors games are not the most skilled at their craft. So it's quite possible that your perceived strike zone discrepancy may very well be just the umpire's inexperience.

Have you checked with your local league's "house" rules? As others have said, it's not a rule in the LL rule book. But the league could have a local rule calling for pitchers to be removed after hitting so many batters.
