I just have to throw this out there, but what do you think the reaction would be in a good NCAA game if you were to call the pitch that just catches the armpits a strike? The rulebook says it's a strike, but with a 12" ball the pitch that just catches the armpits is also going to be catching part of the chin on most of the batters.
I believe the NCAA wants the entire ball below that line to be included in the strike zone, therefore no balls at the chin will be strikes.
