what is your strike zone?

[DJWickham]

Some suggestions:

1. Keep your head still and watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand all the way until it reaches the catcher's glove.

2. Think "strike." It is a strike until you conclude that it is not a strike.


3. Coaches and parents only see the height of the ball. They can't tell if a ball was 6 inches or 1/2 inch inside or outside. They do see the shoelace and head high calls.

4. Good coaches can teach their players how to adjust to your strike zone, if they can figure it out.

6. Try the old American League "Box" stance, directly over the catcher. As you gain experience, you likely will move to the "slot," where most pros set up. But, the box will give you the best view of the corners.
