Pitch I hate calling the most.

After our game on Sunday, my son and I were talking about the pitch we both agree is the hardest / worst one to call;

The high curve that drops down (in theory) through the Strike Zone.

This is the most subjective pitch to call.

If the catcher sets up deep, the ball can drop behind the Strike Zone, but will be caught dead center of the Catcher's chest and in the middle of the plate. Never touched the zone, but to the entire world, it looks like a strike because of where the Catcher caught it. (yep, call it a strike, unless it came in way high)

If it does catch the zone, it will most likely be caught low, and look like a Ball to the rest of the world. (Call it a ball if caught really low, call it a strike if caught kind'a low)

Bottom line, it's not like when we use the way the Catcher caught the ball for a pitch that could go either way. This pitch is all about how / where it is caught. And at least 50% of everyone will disagree (not that it matters).
