Had one of those last night...she was about 5'7" but ended up at about 3'1" after the duck.
What really gets me is coaches, especially with younger girls, who teach them to almost crouch when batting. Then the complain when you call a strike that would have been a strike if they weren't sitting in the batters box.
Of course, when the other team does it, they are ducking (at least according to the coach of the first team).

Yep, these are the ones I'm talking about... Like many things so far, Dakota pointing out the words "natural batter stance" actually helped me out... I was accidently following the rules calling the strikes on the intentional scrunchers. I've read the book a million times; little key words like that are pretty easy to skip over and miss as far as application.
