Yeah, you're right. Actually I don't think I've ever called a 10U game. I was just trying to imagine how large I would have to make it.
Thoughts for this age group:
  • A strike that enters the front of the zone and exits the back of the zone is rare on the local level.
  • A strike is likely to enter the top of the zone and exit the lower back or bottom of the zone.
  • If a pitched ball is "hittable", it may well be called a "strike".
  • A catcher is most likely going to initally touch the ball on the first bounce.
  • In tournament ball, the skill of the players is elevated.
