Its a bass BY RULE
Rule 7 Section 8 : "The umpire calls a ball: a. For each pitch that does not enter the strike zone, hits the ground or touches home plate, or is not swung at by the batter." Granted - Not the best wording (par with NSA book), but clearly a ball by rule. |

"STRIKE ZONE: The strike zone is that space over any part of
home plate that is between the batter's armpit and the top of the batter's knees when the natural batting stance is assumed. Any part of the ball passing through this strike zone is considered a strike. The umpire is instructed to determine the batter's strike zone according to the batter's usual stance when swinging at a pitch." Where does this say anything about "when it crossed her body" ?? ![]() ![]() The strike zone is over the plate at a height determinded by the batter's body, not where it crosses the batter (unless standing right next to the plate). ![]()
