I haven't seen this discussed lately. What guides you in determining if a slow pitch is higher than 12 feet?

Pure judgment. I was brought up using the bill of my cap. I have always worn my cap in a certain manner which places the bill (8-stitch) at just around the 12 foot limit.

Regardless of what an umpire uses whether their cap, a building in the distance, tree or fence lines, once you establish it, stay with it. The pitchers need to know so they can adjust. If you move it around, it will possibly frustrate the pitchers and that could make for a very long game.
