Risky business, how do you check your corner?

[jkumpire]

Men, I am rolling the dice a little here that I won't get my head chewed off, but I will ask this, and look for some opinions.

Most of my summer baseball is NCAA D3 players and up in wood bat leagues. Great baseball to work, but I am getting a few complaints this year that my outside corner is too big. Heck, I even heard one manager tell his players "he's gonna call strikes". I almost tipped my hat, except I am not sure it was a compliment

I feel that I am very consistent with my zone, and I try to call one baseball off the corner as I see it as a strike (I work the classic heel/toe in the slot position), and I learned in school several centuries ago.

Is my plate to wide? Is it the practice now in NCAA ball to call a tighter zone on the OC? Or is it just more crying by the teams I see?

I run a couple of checks on my zone, and I seem to be where I need to be. My timing is not quick, and I am getting a good look at the pitch.

Any thoughts and criticism appreciated.
