It's tough to tell if the camera is directly overhead or not. If the camera is on the side of the LH batter's box, it will make the pitches in the video look more outside.

FYC:
If it was, why didn't the umpire not pull the trigger with a bit more aggression on the third pitch?

Why would it be with more aggression? The few times I've doen this, it was more matter fo fact.

League:
If it's a professional league, hitters should be able to hit the outside pitch the other way. That being said, the first two were very hittable, and the third could have been fouled off by a good contact hitter.

Perhaps, But the width of the zone tends to go down as the level goes up.
