Believe it or not, I have been to several clinics. The odd thing is that I do not recall the strikezone EVER coming up.
Two things come to mind here.

They while the idea of widening the zone broadens the pitcher's target, I don't think the idea is to make it a larger target to hit, just wider.

Also, as they teach in SP on the height issue, instead of using 6 to 12 feet, use 7 to 11 and allow for a margin of error.

BTW, I do not believe they will ever change the strike zone definition. Does anyone remember being taught that the "natural" batting stance was to be thought of as when the batter is striding during their swing, not just standing by the plate? Now that would really compact the zone.

Just thoughts.
