Maybe once upon a time but lately, the MLB strikezone has expanded higher. The belt line is no longer the top of the strikezone for most.

In college softball the entire ball must be below the top boundary of the strike zone (the bottom of the batter's sternum) for the pitch to be a strike. You can download the NCAA rulebook from here: NCAA Softball Rules. Page 160 has the strike zone diagram. So "letter high" pitches should not usually be called strikes in college ball.
