And that is correct, Texan. However, can you see that if the ball touches the black of the plate, then almost certainly it touched some part of the white? If any part of that ball makes contact with any part of the white then it has to be ruled a ball. Subsequently, if the ball in flight passes over the black almost certainly some part of that ball, no matter how infinitesimal, passed over the white and if it is in the strike zone must be a called strike.
