what is your strike zone?

AS big as I can get away with!!! At all levels! LOL

C, doing Youth ball is rough. I don't do it very often but here's what I would recommend:

Call the top of your zone below the Batter's elbow when he's ready to hit.

Try not to call the "LL knee" at the bottom of your zone, you know, where the catcher is lying down to catch it. Getting the knee pitch right will show you're ready to move up....

Get as much of the outside as you can. I try, repeat TRY, not to call it if the catcher flops over or slides really bad, but at a minimum, if any part of his mitt/glove is touching the plate, then it's gonna be a strike with me.

Hope this helps, hope you move up soon....LOL
