That's why I just do fastpitch, we get set when the pitcher starts. About time you slow pitch guys caught up Ok that was just a joke don't attack! I do see your point, it will almost make the illegal pitch zone batter height + 6 feet. If the top of the batters strike zone is 6 foot tall then you are at your 6-12' pitch guidelines, but if it is 5' you are 5-11'.

Not knowing the game but will it really change the outcome that much? Doesnt the pitcher have the same sort of arc with each pitch and they adjust delivery to get the ball into the shorter players strike zone? Or do they keep the same arc out of the hand (approach 12' each batter) and then have an adjustment to make the ball start the decent to arrive in the shorter batters zone? Again, just an outside look from a fastpitch guy just wanting to think about softball on a cold snowy Indiana day!
