At a training session several years ago they taught us to call a balls width inside and 2 outside as strikes and add some at the top and the bottom too. Now this was for new umpires so primarily we are talking 10 year old players in a rec league.

Fast forward to last August. 18-21 year old league game one of my fellow blues on the mound. He wanted every bit of those outside 8 inches as strikes. Tough. It was a longgggg evening.
