After nine years of baseball, I'm making the move to slow pitch, and I already love it. But I wanted to see how people call their pitches. I've heard of two schools of thought-one is calling pitches strictly on where they hit the ground (i.e., even if ball crosses plate in a hittable area, but lands outside width of plate or deeper than expected, it's a ball) Others have said if the player can hit it, call it.
Thoughts? Thanks for the opinions.

Speaking ASA
Any pitch in which any part of the ball crosses any part of the plate when it passes above the front knee, but below the back shoulder of the batter as they would be standing adjacent to the plate should be ruled a strike.
Don't care where it hits the ground as long as it doesn't touch the plate.
