You're confused because you didn't read my post well. I said that I considered the 'black' as part of the plate. Therefore, if the pitch hits the 'black', "STRIKE. DEAD BALL".

I think he's saying that any pitch that hits the plate is a BALL and a dead ball. If you call a strike, it's not a dead ball and runners can steal.
