What absolute heresy!!!!!!!! This sounds exactly like the "Customer Satisfaction" theory taught by an unclean and unwashed umpire over on McGriffs. )

You wouldn't be buying into those theories, would you now Jim?

Peter --

It may sound exactly like that theory to you, but I assure you that Jim's theory and the one posted on McGriff's (and elsewhere) sound different to me.

Well I've been carded for 1 season now but I have been invloved with ball for most of my life ( 40 +). I consider myself a student of the game. Besides remembering all the rules the strike zone is no doubt the hardest to get a comfort level with. I have done all the levels 8 thru 18 and adults for a total of about 75 games this year. I have done so much reading books and forumns like this and this post has alot of good advice. When I am on the bases I pay close attention to the PU and see what is working for him and what causes abuse. I have also worked on a couple different stances and right now I am using the Gerry Davis stance. I don't have any real advice except be a sponge and watch the vetern umps and see whats causing the least amount of grief and work these things into your game.
I have attached a link to give a better visual of what IS the strike zone maybe it will help.
