Neither of these is reality in any real level of baseball.

In my world, if a pitch is knee high at the front of the plate it's a strike.
Under normal circumstances I have a real hard time seeing a strike and calling a ball. I prefer the other way around.
But then my wife has accused me more than once of not living in reality.

The only problem with that poster's strike zone is that he is putting the strike zone at the front of the plate, instead of where the batter is standing.

There's no such thing as falling into the strikezone. If there was, all those 45 mph Little Leaguers would be throwing strikes everytime the ball came across the batter's eyes.

Ummmm, no.
