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.
