Non sequitur -- I don't play any more, but this is why I hated playing matball. I cannot pitch the high floater at (formerly) 12 or 10 feet. I can pitch to contact (which is what slowpitch is all about) and throw belt high strikes at 6-8 feet. A low pitch is necessarily "faster" in its horizontal vector of motion than a high pitch. Simple physics. As a result, I walked a lot of batters on three good pitches because they bounced "too deep". I also hated that the ball bouncing on the plate was a strike. Rule 7-5-B, people!!! (I am not playing Senior SP) Sigh...
BOO MATBALL. LONG LIVE THE SP STRIKE ZONE AS DEFINED IN THE BOOK.
