Other things come into the consideration as well......consistency of a pitcher, is he hitting his spots, etc. It's not just about the strike zone......if the catcher sets up inside, but has to reach outside for a pitch,
it's a ball, even if it catches the outside corner
. That's not a pitch that I can sell as a strike.
wow!
