NCAA Super Regionals strike zone

[shipwreck]

I have been watching quite a few of these games. The umpires are really calling strikes when the ball is way outside. I know, I know, tv angles don't always give you a true look at the pitch location, but the ones I saw were from the CF camera. I have seen quite a few that were inside the opposite batter's box line. The one for sure was unhittable it was so far outside. Dave

The UCLA coach didn't think so. For that matter, I think she believes they are a little tight.

Personally, I don't think they are that wide, but you know how those camera angles are.

I guess I should have never gotten DVR so I can play back the pitches and plays. The game today UCLA vs Missouri, I only saw one outside and it was quite far out there. Darn camera angles. Dave

I thought the coaches were having issues with the ball calls at the pitches that looked at the knee. Again camera angles can be deceiving, but the catcher didn't look like she moved her glove on a couple of the pitches.

And who says the catcher's glove was in the strike zone to begin with?

A strike is determined by the location of the ball when it is over (or not) the plate, not where the catcher catches it.

Slow down - I was not talking about pitches outside or inside the strike zone, I was talking about pitches that appeared (again from the camera angles) to be at the knees.
Maybe they were low.

If you have it on dvr, then take a look but the zone looked a little tight but equal for both teams.
