Strike Zone is Defined on the pitcher's skill.
I first have to disagree with the gentleman who said,"can't tell the differance between a pitch 4" outside". I say" stay down at the Pony Little League level and do all the GOOD Varsity Umps a favor. I umpire high school in Ohio, some of the top Division 1 schools in our area. These kids can bring it where they want. Our region signed 6 pitchers to division 1 schools already. Giving them 4" on the outside corner all the time would make the batters and coaches GO Nuts! I agree about catching the corner, but I can definately see the catcher's mitt and the ball cross 4" outside @ 90+ and it is a ball to me! Oh yea, for those who can't a GOOD UMPIRING Camp might do the trick!
