In baseball, absolutely and is proven daily in the MLB where no umpire has the cojones to call a pitch even near the "letters" a strike.

In softball, strike are called a little higher than baseball, but without a doubt, the strike zone is wider. And it is not unheard off them getting wider with more noise.
